Why no talk about the breakdowns at Santa Anita this weekend?

It has nothing to do with if it's softer or not. It's how the horse's hoof interacts with it versus dirt.

And you can run an unsound horse on a bed of feathers and it will still break down.

No one claimed that it would eliminate injuries. You make it sound like there was a money back guarantee or something. I hate poly a little less than most here, but am not blind to it's issues. But to call it out as the sole reason a horse breaks down is not correct.
