I do realize there are some pluses to the fake surfaces, including potentially longer careers for top horses. It could also provide, eventually, some needed stamina being brought back into the breeding shed. At some point, we might actually even have a horse that could compete in a real top class turf race.

I just think there has to be a way to make it perform more like dirt. Imagine Slew trying to sew up the TC going 3 miles, errr, 1 1/2 miles, on a Belmont polytrack, yikes!
