I think I remember Chuck mentioning that he did that at Keeneland and they were on it in a hot second. Tongue ties break down the polytrack - I think that is how it went.

or maybe the poly track tractor equipment can't handle anything ohter than poly track and horse poooooo

Maybe it creates a thick spot and could hurt horses

not certain

just guessing

Polytrack is ridiculous, the horses can't even 'dump' on the track because it screws everything up. There is a guy at Arlington that follows the post parade in a little 4 wheeler with a pooper scooper

ok, everything hurts polytrack
except rain unless it has a bad ph level
and sunshine that's bad for it too

They pick up the horse pooooo after every race, they do not let it mix into the polytrack as accumulating organic stuff would clog drainage, change the way the polytrack rebounds (acts when horse hooves hit it), etc.

I imagine a bunch of tongue ties thrown down on a regular track could screw up the harrows there, too, over a few days.

Default Good Luck

Good luck to everyone invovled with kickin'...

My friend HEELS owns a piece and I'll have a rooting interest...If she's the right price, I'll have a rooting interest...

Seems she has them over a barrel if she comes back in good shape...Hopefully Hector puts her in a good spot early and not too wide around the first turn...

May the fast horses be with you...

I think she settles and runs best with no horses to her outside i.e. her stretch runs at TBD (2nd) and AP (1st)...But that's just me. Safe travels to everyone coming in tomorrow.
