Keeneland returning to dirt

[pmayjr]

guys... the plague on horse racing has been eradicated... if... you know... breakdowns aren't a plague...

just my inability to cash a ticket on an independent 3rd surface is a plague. So I'm glad they care about me enough, the bettor.

BTW, f$ck Canada. F$ck Woodbine. And most of all F4ck the damn Arabs for building that state of the art track in Dubai where... you know... it's really safe for horses but... I can't ever cash a ticket (because synth is the same as dirt, so why do I keep losing?) so Fck Sheik Mo for not running at Nad al Sheeba anymore

you guys must be so happy that Keeneland and Del Mar eradicated the plague, I'm sure you can end your betting boycotts now. Synth really messed up your ability to cash a ticket... yeah... that's it...

what excuse will you make up when you're still not cashing during Keeneland's fall meet?

I got it. It'll be something like this-

"He was winning all summer at Arlington. Why did he bounce so bad here?"

Dont you mean too say.. CDI the owner of Poly has abandon the hopes and dreams of making poly the preferred surface in racing and now realizes that a safer state of the art surface on dirt is more advantageous to the company's P/L.

Dirt is just a superior surface, perhaps not for snapping legs but certainly for making money

Have to think that since their premiere race has turned into a joke since the installation of the synthetic surface and should lose its current Graded status might have factored into this decision as well.
