Another breakdown at Turfway

Oracle, answer this question.....why are you so oppossed to a third surface. Never mind what people have said. I want your thoughts as to why having a third surface is bad for the game.

Not opposed to a third surface at all, as long as it can be offered at a trackj with traditional dirt, which noone has done or will do,
Its a dirt replacement, not a third surface, because not one track has THREE surfaces, no room for them.
And the marketers are flat out liars.

I dont understand, why do they need a dirt surface as well. Oaklawn and Turfway dont have a turf so why does only having one surface matter. To me it is a 3rd surface. And of course it replaced dirt at Turway etc etc-u are a genius to figure that one out. So I dont understand when you say it is a dirt replacement.

Of course you do shill.
No track has room for both surfaces. And the fact that Oak and turf dont have turf has nothing to do whatsoever with what we are talking about. Nice strawman attempt though, anyway, it doesnt give trainers or horses the option of running on dirt. It replaces it, and its quite obvious that its nowhere near dirt.

What do you mean trainers dont have the option to run on dirt. Trainers can go to Mountaineer or to Buleah to race on dirt if they desire. Granted that may not appeal to them but they have an option. And trainers at Turf and Oak dont have the option to run on Turf. So what is the difference.

The difference is that not one track in the US is ripping out turf courses and replacing them with poly. Thats the difference. And you know what? Since its like brown turf, thats exactly what they SHOULD do.

Doest matter. You contention is that trainers do not have the option to run on dirt and I proved you wrong. Trainers at Oaklawn and Turfway do not have the option to run on turf so they need to ship. They can do the same with their dirt horses. So again, I make you look dumb.
