Problems with Hollywood park's new track?

[2Hot4TV]

Martin Pranza (Racing secratary) "97% chance that we will have racing today at Hollywood Park".

The problem is not knowing how to deal with the moisture that builds up in the material and the equipment that is used on a dirt track is too heavy to grade the surface and it appears to leave waves in the track.

Mike, you're really going to milk this particular " I told you so "....aren't you .

I, of course, agree and can't say I'm not enjoying seeing all the problems. I'll never understand people's hurry to embrace something that hasn't been tested. Never said Polytrack was bad, per se, but accepting anything without an extensive testing period hardly seemed sensible. At least these unsurprising, and immediate, problems should give everybody legitimate cause for pause.

Always glad to see one of the only public voices of reason, Andy Beyer, proven right once again.

Your buddy the trainer once told me something I have never forgotten. he said "Whenever you see a bunch of English guys in suits trying to sell or push something, run as far away as fast as you can". The man has never given me advice that wasn't proven right at some point in time.

they couldn't find a way to make them leak oil onto your desk.
