I know you are. On the other hand Pee Garden really thinks he knows something and wants to argue about Limestone, sand, synthetics, dirt, grass, and how he should be the head super at Santa Anita.

Kickback is kickback Pee garden, horses arent running through it and jockeys are wearing hockey visors now. What do you suggest they do? If you want I can get you a job at Murfield Village as an assistant if you have a degree in turf managment.

A degree that you could have recieve at The Ohio State University

Tis a difficult problem. Mainly because the dirt in dirt tracks actually holds a lot of the sand down. The sand is needed so the dirt does not pack tightly and absolutely ruin the horses legs. If the sand is too sharp edged, it gets more clay in between it and can throw up giant clods of dirt. If the sand is too smooth it holds very little dirt (dirt settles out towards the bottom of the upper layer) and the horses go slow as molasses because the sand gives so much.

Because many of the synthetics have different type of artificial fibers that contain various amounts of wax that are supposed to stop the large particles from forming (and prevent really good draining of water) behave differently with diff. temp and moisture conditions I would not have a clue as it is a difficult problem.

Throw in the diff types of sand and some organics... a mess.

Actually I am very interested in Turf.
Texas ATM had some great experiments going
on at a golf course here with all these plots set
up of diff types of hybird bermuda, etc...

They were looking at which way the blades grow,
how short they could be cut without damage,
how much water they required, How well they came
back from winter dormancy.

ANd I sure thank you for trying to get me a job.
Nice having upper level CEO's like yourself watching my back.
I got one unfortunately that I like.
