Arlington is very very stressful right now as the polytrack debate is hot right now. I saw two trainers talking (arguing) about the effects of polytrack. One loved it and the other talked about horses being really muscle sore on it. I am not a trainer so I have no idea, Chuck would

One trainer went right up to Mr. D and said "Mr. D, the track is like a pillow, it is beautiful"

As I heard Mr. D say, what happened to Rene and Mike was because of race riding, the horses did not break down. You can't control clipped heels or a heart attack.

They are not very united if only two ended up sitting it out.What happened,plans change?Is Shane Sellers on the way there?

Exactly.

I think it was more to make a point, but for them to be delayed 30 minutes, there had to be some unification.

I know that trainers were not within the meeting, it was just management and jocks, all the trainers were huddled up near where the jocks enter the paddock.
