But polytrack is the next great thing???

From what I have heard, there has been more breakdowns at Santa Anita in like two weeks of training then the WHOLE Saratoga meet. This is a third-word stat but I doubt it is wrong

Its not wrong, but dont say that too loud.

Surprisingly DRF reported Latin Rhythms breaking down and now Drill Down

How sad, both nice horses. Apparently as noted in the DRF column the track didnt handle the rain. Hows that for an all weather surface. We are talking about TWP handling below freezing and snow and this track cant even handle a little rain, PUHLEASE

BUMP

[ArlJim78]

from the drf article, a quote from Michael Baze who was riding Drill Down.

"He was real relaxed," Baze said. "He just took a bad step at the quarter pole."

and Drill Down's trainer;

"You're always hearing things about the racetrack, but I can't say the track is bad," Machowsky said. "It's just one of those things, and it's a tough one to choke down."
