They are having a very hard time controlling it. The staff at TP said so in not so many words.

Tough for the 'capper too as they keep jacking with the track (the same track that was supposed to be non-maintenance). Looks like they are adding sand at times. The staff said they can adjust the wax ratio too. The running times can vary tremendously from day to day.

The clumps of poly can fly a long way and they hit with quite an impact. I've seen horses recoil and climb when pounded in the nose with that stuff. And I've seen jockeys visibly shaken when they get hit with it. It's a mess.
