I have a few more ... but can you answer just those for now?
I have generally been opposed to human cloning, but you are so charming and delightful, I think you should be cloned so we all can enjoy your schtick long after you meet your maker. Have you been approached by anyone wishing to clone you yet?? I would have to think the answer to that is yes. Your other questions are so perfect, they don't even need answers!!

Why is everyone drinking the Koolaid. It is so clear the #1 reason for poly is economics. Whos making the money from the sale of the stuff?Whos making the money from the cut back on maintainance cost. If there is a signifacant improvement in horses safety it is just a byproduct of the goal of the marketing of this product. The sellers of this product and the tracks will be the profiters and the rest of us [ fans, bettors,jockeys,owners,And trainers], will just need to adapt and drink the koolaide . My big question is . If the tracks spent this kind of money couldnt the lay a forgiving and proper base and produce a very safe track with traditional material. Isnt it odd that pro athletic teams and elite golf clubs hire high dollar profesionals to keep and upgrade there grounds and racetrack go to some marketing guru and buy a sack of crap.

Some people just do not get it. They get part of it, but they dont get everything.

Pretty soon they'll be racing at WO in this stuff, soon to be followed by Keeneland, so we'll have plenty of data coming in.

I prefer to think of myself as adorable ... but ...

... unfortunately for the rest of the world ... I can't be cloned ... because I was created by a special act of (very) intelligent design ... and the mold was destroyed.

But don't worry about missing any of my material ... because I'm programmed to outlive all of you.

the surface is a forgiving water repellent surface...we will review the data as it becomes available...think of it as new sneaks for the horses.
