Who cares about wagering....I could care less...I enjoy racing...if I win, I win...if I lose I lose.Did you boycott Monmouth due to the slop??? Did that "ruin" the day of racing??? What happens if they change all the surfaces to synthetic (which they wont)...are you going to boycott all racing? And I believe they went to synthetic for safety purposes didnt they.
Nearly all major sports play on different types of surfaces don't they???

I don't think Breeders Cup Day on that surface is the biggest day of the year for this industry. I was more excited about Travers Day by a mile. You know, maybe I am showing a side of me that comes out thru the words and choices I use as I find myself leaning towards traditional people, places and things versus what is happening now in ALL aspects of my life.
I think I am speaking out of both sides of my mouth, so let me say this. I'll watch and wager on the big days so to speak at tracks that use dirt more then I will this poly surface for the time being for various reasons. I am drawn to tradition long before I am drawn to today.
