Please note the bullets that say: 1)It is dust free!!! LOL!!!! Why do those guys at turfway wear surgical masks if its dust free? 2)It maintains uniformity in various weather conditions. LOL!! Tell that to the guys up in canada where it supposedly fell apart. 3)It reduces kickback. Ever see a race from Turfway? Huh? 4) minimum maintenance required. How come Turfway has had to tweak and redo it so much if this is so? Now please, can you see my problem with the way it has been marketed and the way its worked out in reality?

All you need to do when you buy something is ask the guy whos selling it, they are always honest.

The thing being missed by people (who say that a new dirt surface would have been the way to go) is that turf horses have been running on this stuff the whole meet.Most "dirt" horses (who don't like turf,)are handling this cushion track.You can see why the field sizes would go way up.Not all horses are going to win on it,but most can win on it(in the right field.)Baffert is an Anita guy,but he has run some horses here.Why? Because he knows they need a race,and it isn't dangerous(they just "might not take to it" like his horses do at Anita.) |

Ron has 40 horses. He has 32 at Hollywood and 8 at Santa Anita. When the Hollywood season ends on Dec 18th, it should be much easier to get stalls there. |

The only major thing I see wrong with the Cushion Track is that it is very difficult to cap a group of races(at this meet.)This will not be the case for long.We have all seen that some horses can beat horses on it that they just can't beat on dirt. It makes most capping sheets or figures much less important than they normally are,but that will change.For bettors,this is a tread easy meet.It is the future in SOCAL that is gunna be great.We just have to get through this transition time.You must all see how turf horses don't scratch when they have to move turf races to this cushion track.That is very cool.Races aren't devastated by scratches.You get an actual contest(instead of just giving the check over to the one horse in there that likes dirt.)

Turf racing in America is on it's death bed with the emergence of JunkTrack. Whereas the turf used to be inhabited by those the couldn't handle dirt, why would anyone want to race their grass horses on grass anymore when they are going to be able to win all the major "dirt" races? It's going to be so hilarious watching Saint Stephen and The Tin Man coming down to the wire in the Hollywood Gold Cup.
