nothing worse than watching a typical race at philly park. Someone like scott lake vs a.dutrow with two 7/5 shots going out and running the other 3 horses off the track within the first half minute.

Arlington or Turfway are decent examples of cheap maintrack racing that is more playable with the fake stuff. I don't look to play it, but at least it's playable.

Give these cheaper tracks turf-like heavy synthetic and it's even better. But keep that minor league junk out of the major tracks.
Nothing worse than seeing a grade I race on synthetic. Sure the race has 12 entries and 5 moves, but I would rather see Aluminum bats in the Major Leagues.
