I don't believe that Santa Anita has made a definitive decision yet....and hopefully they won't abide by that sham of a meeting recently where trainers were hand picked because they are pro-synthetic.

Either way santa anita does not have polytrack so I am not sure how its "absolutely on polytrack"

Assmussen referred to it as "synthetic" rather than using a specific brand like PolyTrack or Cushion Track. I think that the 10f Champion S might be better for him if her were to try grass in Europe. Japan has the JC Dirt as well.

Thats not very sporting.

thats what he mentioned, he said the owner wants it . he also talked about avoiding some surfaces. he didn't want to run pyro at hawthorne or aqueduct. i don't think he wants to run curlin at SA. two years in row if it stays at SA, what are the people thinking at the BC board meetings. that should be the last place, unless they straighten it out. this years meet was a joke.
