How exactly do you know how the tracks are being maintained here?

I have seen how they are harrowed, and the amount of water put on some of them.

You do not need to be a brain surgeon to realise that the tracks with Poly in America are doing plenty of things wrong.

It's starting to make me laugh that they obviously have no clue as to how to maitain a synthetic surface, and how the racing fans seem to be very short sighted about the whole thing.

You have the ability to watch the harrows and water trucks from Europe?

I don't want to get into this debate as clearly I don't know enough but there was a breakdown in the first race at Presque Isle Downs.....

Rest in peace, Cantrel.

The polytrack at Del Mar has 0 degree banking in the turns and Hollywoods Cushion track has 6 degree banking. This is something that has to change the way some horses perform from track to track in California.

Another breakdown tonight at PI. They are 2 for 2, batting 1000

Tapeta is total horseshit. Takes randomness to a higher level than even Polytrack. What absolute garbage. This is our sport.....if this is the direction its going, I'll go to sports betting or harness.

the big change was when they disallowed airfoils on the horses for those high speed turns.

tracks are banked for drainage. i guess del mar determined they didn't need it with the new surface.

Just a bit of information on the differances with race tracks, how you choose to use it is up to you. The banking will affect some horses performance and I see it as a possible horses for coarses.
