Far be it for me to chirp in but I'll just say what I know for fact.
People on the whole are resistent to change
Polytrack smells and looks spooky, literally. I have seen it first hand.
In science, it takes time to formulate an intelligent review of a change. In other words, trial and error.
Now for my "Soap Box" statement.
The ones that are shaking in their boots mad about this are worried about how their end of the business will be affected. I can understand that. All those years you have vested in the business, knowing and understanding the ups and downs of breeding, dirt, etc etc..
Now for my "Personal" reflection
The Horse Racing world is too big with too many people in postions of power and large quanities of money to allow things to get "out of hand" concerning this polytrack business. Time will tell the tale. Let it run its course.
