it was very good. if i had to pick on anything its the fact he calls it a "synthetic" track controversy. jess jackson is right its not a controversy at all. anyone that knows anything about racing can see horses run differently on it. i just wish for once people would admit that the whole poly thing was a mistake. hes right this sport is fighting for its life and the poly tracks are not helping any.
