I think if I see one more polytrack thread, my eyes will burst into flames.

First 4 races went to horses who were:
1st) 8th of 10 after the first quarter
2nd) 4th of 11 after the first quarter
3rd) 3rd of 6 after the first quarter
4th) 2nd of 10 after the first quarter

No wire jobs, and only one laying within the first two.
I guess its better than it has been, but it still aint saying much Hooves.
I'm not so sure its playing better towards speed today than it usually does and I'm watching and capping but wouldn't bet a race on the stuff with a gun to my head.

OH!! YEAH!!! another poly thread! Ain't this great?

Actually, i'm working on my own composite. I won't give out the formula, and no...it won't be good for eohippis, pswarski's or fjords to run on. Until I get the patent on the aluminium robotic "equines" that I'm working on, no details will be forthcoming.
Anyone have advice on training zebras? All I can say is that the chimp-jocks don't like 'em...keep getting bucked off. At least the styrofoam peanuts are giving a soft landing. OOPs! Spilled one of the ingredients.

Dude I hear you but at other tracks speed isn't defined by being close at the 1/8th pole. LOL!!!

I'm not busting on you Hooves, I'm busting on the track. I'm laughing my ass off right now. An owner all you guys would know was just on the phone with me talking a horse deal and apparently he was watching Keeneland just now.
Owner says " Look at this ****, theres gotta be an inch of standing water on this stuff and its supposed to drain right through, whos ****ing great idea was this **** anyway?"

Hooves imagine the cooincidence as I'm talking to you on this thread to hear that over the phone. I'm still laughing so hard right now my sides hurt.

ITS A SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just watched the 7th from Keenland , I cant believe how clean the horses and riders come back in the pouring down rain. Man wish they would have had Polycrap in when i used to ride at Ruidoso and it would come a flood at 4 pm everyday, some days I would have 6 pairs of goggles on and still I would be pulling the last pair down at the head of the lane.
