Poly speed disaster at keeneland

I didnt even have this guy in the equation

Its kinda like the old Soviet Union where the guy would be onscreen reading the news with a guy offscreen aiming a pistol at him making sure he read what he was supposed to. Kinda like, food shortage causing wonderful weight loss among Soviet citizens with a smile.
The news has been rather like that regarding poly. Wonder why? Couldn't be the money could it? Nah, not that.

Keeneland made all the money, they have the same surface. You know they arent going to say anything bad about the track. I know Turfway told a few guys to keep their mouths shut, if they didnt like it they could leave. Thats just how it goes, eventually the real numbers will come out, and the polywonders will be left with egg on their face.

I'm still waiting to pick up the local paper and see the story about the local man who was taken away in a white jacket after running down the street yelling "no more Polytrack!" I'm just kidding with you.

You do?! Who would have ever thought?

Looking over the charts though, it does seem a fair amount of favorites are winning at the expected normal percentage, no?

And my posts are in direct response to the polytrack shills who reside here. They quit shilling, I'll quit posting facts and data. Don't count on it soon.

hmm, I'm looking at it now, lets see what our friend the Sniper has for us.
No way dude, way too much pace in there. Anything more than a lone speed horse who looks to have a 5 length lead is not a candidate for a wire job. Cotton King, Sky Diving, Dance Man, Regwell, and Shark all have speed.

I don't have PPs for tomorrow so have no clue. Just saw it was a small field (8) by polytrack standards.

I'd like to see Aqueduct go to poly and even the training tracks at Belmont and Saratoga. I definitely don't see why Saratoga should ever go to poly and don't see too much reason for Belmont to go to it.

REALLY like Forest Blue in that spot. If I can get close to the 7/2 ML it may be time to unload...

We have a 2 year old whose feet were getting really sore at Santa Anita last month. He was body sore too. We moved him over to Hollywood and within a week or so he was doing great. He's not sore at all any more. The track at Santa Anita is not forgiving at all.
