Here's a novel concept. How about a dirt track with high breakdown rates spend as much money as it would take to put in a synthetic surface on creating a much safer dirt surface? Then let's see what happens to the breakdown rates. I bet they'll drop just as much as they have on the synthetics. And we'll still have dirt racing. What did Saratoga have last year, maybe one breakdown on the dirt? All I remember was the Frankel filly in the Ballerina who likely broke her hip coming out of the gate which could have happened running on pavement or marshmallows.
