Why did Keenland even decide to put Poly****

Anyone have a feel for why there is such an anti-speed bias at Keeneland compared to Woodbine and Turfway?

Like Kasept said, I think it's the Poly along with the major restructuring of the course itself, they made the turns wider and got rid of a downhill slope...It's too bad they just didn't do this in the first place along with putting down a better dirt surface, they would have the best of both worlds, a nice track, plus poly to train on...
