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?

With turf thrown in yes.

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.

We had about 120 feet of 6-foot heavy wood fencing go down during Wilma last fall. My fence guy finished the job two days ago.

A good deal of my yard has been a mess with all the construction junk. So tomorrow I will put down about 1500 sq feet of sod.

Yesterday and today I spread about 2.5 cubic yards of topsoil down. Just the dirt looks freakin' beautiful.

I refuse to believe that anything is better for horses than dirt.

Maybe I should forget the sod, put up a 6 inch high rail around my new dirt, get some hamsters and run my own meet. I know Scav would throw down some action.

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

Just going over for tomorrow, I see Pletcher is 10 0 3 1 .00 for the meet, when do you think the last time pletcher has had 10 starters and no winners, he's probably overjoyed...

Round Pen, you are completely wrong. I wont name drop either. Im just telling you the truth, whether or not you guys want to believe it is up to you. They have had a bunch of horses come back bad, and a few not come back at all. Also, I have talked to a few other "prominent" trianers up there and they are saying the same thing, contrary to what you are saying. Lets just wait and see how it plays out rather than argue, especially when I know Im right.

It is obvious to me there is a big problem with Woodbines Poly

Ok I will drop a name now because he said I could when we were talking about it this Morning. Mark Casse has probably run more horses on the Polytrack then anyone and he told me again today that he absolutley loves it plus he is at trackside an told me this morning that he has heard no one complain to him when they are talking about it.

And by the way I am not completely wrong just because the trainers I talk too love the stuff go ahead tell me who you are talking too because Mark
said he would love to talk to them to here there concerns.

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.

wow, i'm glad he's lovin the new surface.
