Do you believe he created you? Do you believe he created horses? If not, I understand....you don't apply to this conversation if you don't believe in your creator....It requires that basis to drive my arguement home....the 'Big Bang' theory doesn't work here....

Our beliefs about a creator are 100% irrelevant to the Polytrack situation... if this is your the way you need to go to justify your angle, then you probably should refrain from replying to any of my posts any longer....

Only scientologists would approve of a switch to polytrack. Heck if they had it their way the only people who could ride horses would be a minimum of a 7th level thetan.

Really, so lets get this straight then....God built fish to swim though rubber, he built birds to fly through rubber and he built horses to run through rubber, right?

This post proves my point in the fact that you cannot keep your attention level long enough on the subject at hand in order to have a decent, fruitful debate.

No, it just proves to me that you don't have a comeback sharp enough to counter my logic....give it up, homie...

so if i don't believe in god i should like poly? or i shouldn't? not sure that it would matter one way or the other!!
after all, intelligent design would mean horses were created....sure doesn't look like eohippus out there to me!! where'd all the toes go?


lol just kidding a bit, i'm not trying to stir a darwin/evolution/creator/intelligent design discussion.


when you have tracks such as oaklawn and churchill, seems the others could have found a way to have a safe dirt track...or just go with turf, both all natural surfaces.

also, regarding breeding...if that bubble bursts a LOT of people are going to be out of business. a ton of them. you think coolmore and the sheik are bad for business now?? just wait til only the few are left, while the many are left wondering what the heck happened to their farms.


my 'you' above is directed to anyone who thinks that a few incredibly wealthy people are bad for the sport, not directed at cunningham....

Zieg you are going to scare Patrick if you keep trying to use examples and facts that are outside his field of expertise.
Don't go using reasons like the possible financial disaster of the game to refute the religious reasons that horses should run on poly.

Yeah I can't wait until all of the tracks have poly and the sheikhs and coolmore and a few of the old bluebloods are left to dodge each other.

Can you say return of the match race? 4 horse Grade 1's?

Pillow, maybe 4 starters but there will be a 3 horse betting interest and only two total betting interests. Guess you nail the exacta each time by boxing it.

i just really feel that if turfway and other tracks can't run in the middle of winter due to safety, they shouldn't run then!! obviously certain sports aren't made for certain times of the year. winter racing belongs in the deep south, not in places that have hard freezes.

dirt isn't the problem, the overall handling of the sport and it's athletes is the problem. kyroses mentioned breeding and drug practices above--she's right!! what about all the surgically corrected foals? what about the unsound horses being bred because they're fast, but made of glass? what about bleeders?? bute now being allowed everywhere?? those are the problems, not dirt!!
