They ran yesterday in a goddamn downpour with the track 5" deep in rain and today's the nicest day we've had all month and they're off??

Wave in the polytrack.

Polytrack at all 3 NY tracks plus the training tracks...We could go Cushion at Big A, Tappetta at Belmont, and another brand at the Spa. but it would proly (not poly, LOL) be cheaper to do a package deal for one surface at all 3 plus the training tracks.

Yes thats the answer ruin NY in one swoop! Poly is a cheap gimmick for cheap tracks to try and bring in horses and trainers. NY doesnt need that. It would be a sad day in racing if poly is ever install @ Saratoga

This is a thread about lost revenues at a bankrupt non-profit. Not polytrack. Polytrack is a suggestion on how they could run a better business. On a day like today they could have run on the polytrack if one of their tracks was poly. They could offer grass, dirt and poly all on the same card.

wow, poly, well maintained dirt and turf on the same card...kind of mind boggling.
