I thought Polytrack prevented this?

Bid,i doubt your excuses for poorly maintained surfaces will fly any more. the breeding will not change until the market demands that. insofar as Woodbine, you'll need to prove 3 horses have broken down due to poly.

Sumitas, how do you prove a horse broke down due to poly just like how do you prove a horse broke down due to dirt, or broke down due to turf?

2 horses in the first week of Woodbines new surface, and this last one Oracle noted. I believe one was a 2 year old, one was an older claimer. The two I noted were both catastrophic. Drf had an article on both Woodbine horses. Regards

Sumitas, you must know a lot more than I do. A good conventional dirt surface is will limit breakdowns. Despite what you may think, not all dirt surfaces are the same boss.
