We've lost a decade with this surface nonsense.

There have been rumblings about Keeneland going back to dirt for a while now.

Yeah... Everything she did was a complete fluke... especially because of the surface... yeah. Glad she ran up the track at Churchill and Oaklawn to cement that statement

Bring back the dirt and quit your whining.

In fact with breeding mistakes based on poly form I can assume the damage from this idiocy is probably worse than a decade cumulatively.

coming from the guy who's been whining for 10 years lol...

I'm just saying I think there's room for both and as I said from page 1 of this thread I love it when a race meet ends and when another starts up there's a surface switch. Love. It.
