i must miss your point.
synthetic surfaces were created as all weather tracks. as a side effect they are kinder to runners.
so they should only be installed where it snows?

My point was that the intent was to enable places like Turfway and Woodbine to race in the harsh weather, and cut down on cancellations. To answer your last question, realistically, thats probably a good idea. I could see NYRA installing a synethetic surface for Aqueduct but I doubt you'll ever see the Fair Grounds or Gulfstream put one in. Thank God.
