Default Isnt it about time ???

That we get a firm decision from SA about what they are going to do about the surface? With the BC comming, this is a huge factor for all the main track runners.

You would think so. I have a suggestion for them...bring in dirt.

Well now that they don't have a triple crown winner to promote. I suggest that they call Mr. Assmussen and ask him what he would perfer.

I thought I read somewhere recently that they were staying with the traditional dirt surface....And were suing the cushion track company.

they're suing alright, but as far as going back to dirt, haven't seen that. last i saw there was a suggestion to pull up the top layers, change the asphalt (and presumably pull up the drainage) and put the top back down.
