By the way, the "carpet salesmen" also assured everyone that this stuff was a one time buy, maintenance free for life, and only needed to be harrowed twice a day.
Turfway has had to rework this stuff three times so far in a year and a half. Doesn't sound so maintenance free to me.

rather than these tracks trying to find some way to run in poor weather, they should just not run in that time of year! that's one of the problems in todays sports, no down time for the horses. run run run all year long.

also, i agree about a well maintained track being the key. oaklawn is a dirt track, and every year everyone seems happy as hell with it.

I agree.

Although, there were some who couldn't stand how slow Oaklawn was playing this past year. Speed, Speed, Speed!

the ones who refused to understand, or try to, were crying about the times. everyone who paid attention benefitted!!!

i don't know how many times it was put up that times were slow due to surface, and yet the same few flung it right back out there anytime they wanted to criticize a horse who ran and won up there! like talking to a brick wall sometimes.

This is why horse racing is great. Things change and you have to use your head. The people that are smart and pay attention benefit. Instead of whining about polytrack, the smart people are studying looking for patterns. They act like their whining is going to make Keeneland change the surface.

If you toss Argentina you have no chance of hitting the pick 6, or any other multi race exotic running through her particular race.

Silver train is a great horse but henny is better. If henny fires, they are running for second. But that is why they run the race, everyone could collapse and the 3 horse could win
