Why do you think Woodbine and Turfway need polytrack as opposed to Keeneland and the Cali tracks? I'm interested in knowing your thoughts.

No, actually I haven't. I'm sorry, but is your name Euro? Didn't think so.

Woodbine and Turfway lost many days to bad track conditions. Also, the tracks would get wet and freeze and then melt making the conditions very dangerous. Keeneland and Cali do not have these problems. I think their dirt surfaces could have improved by fixing them. But Woodbine and Turfway cannot control the weather.

Don't you think that further testing on synthetic surfaces should have been done though before installing them? It seems to me that the clumping, etc. going on with the polytrack isn't beneficial either.

Not really. I mean, where are you going to test. I know this may not sound right, but the only way to test is to install it and race on it and then fix it. I also think that Cali and Arlington jumped the gun. It makes sense for Keeneland, Turfway and Woodbine.

He wants his friends company to succeed. They get paid after its installed, if you choose to rip it out later they keep the money. Its in his friends best interest that it be tested at 10 mill per shot, you know someplace around there.

His company is Turfway--lol. They paid $10mm. You are so laughable.

I just think that if you make a $10 million dollar investment like that, you'd want to know what you were getting (or at least some clue as to what you were getting.) I guess that ignorance is bliss...

NO NO NO!!! You are supposed to buy the hype and do the due diligence as you go along.
You think thats how Warren Buffet started? Doubtful.

Well Keeneland and Turfway just moved money from point A to B. To them it is no big deal. I cannot speak for Woodbine. But I agree with you and I think they got what they wanted.

Oracle--I am waiting...show me where I said I lived in Cincinnati. Please Oracle...AKA LIAR....show me this post. Show the board. Show the world where I said I lived in Cincy.
