The point is nobody ships to poly/cushion.. Who is shipping an allowance type or higher priced grass claimer to CA? If you own a horse east of Montana its easier to go to La. or Fl. for grass in the winter. Ca is in trouble and the clouds are thicker by the minute. Unless some little girl clicks her heels soon this cyclone is about to wipe out a big piece of racing. Believe me its very sad. I think its a travesty and hope things change although this rush to polytrack really worked against the sport..
For the record I was in favor of poly because I was convinced it was in the best (health) interest of horses. I thought healthier horses bigger fields more betting etc... I was SO wrong!
