Ok, one more comment on the breeding industry.....the industry will be fine and will actually flouirsh. If we got rid of dirt tracks and replaced them all with a synthetic surface the only thing would change is the name of the breeding stars. So, With A City replaces Storm Cat, Asi Siempre replaces AP Indy it doesn't matter what surface it is. It only matters which horses can produce offspring that can run on the surface. In fact it may cause less in-breeding in the beginning because people would be forced to change their breeding habits which would be good for the breed.

I have said this 1000 times--a synthetic surface is good for Turfway and Woodbine but I really dont think it is good for Churchill or Saratoga. And I have spoken to just about every top trainer at Keeneland and every top jock at Keeneland this past meet and they seem to like the surface.
