Experiment went wrong.. They didnt earn plain and simple. Nothing to do with attendance or handle has to do with the simple fact that nobody in 2014 is considering poly as an alternative to dirt.

They took a shot and it didnt not work period. All the other nonsense is just noise.

Now assuming they redo the track properly with all the latest and greatest let us see if it is as safe on horses being killed as poly as the pundits will now have an apples to apples comparsion.. IF it isnt racing has a decision to make. In a far fetched way its the only out they truly have save PMay
