No where in this statement does it state that PolyTrack is "maintenance free." You can get this quote from Marty Collins web site and here is the link: http://www.polytrack.com/advantages.html. Also, if you click on the below link you can view the PowerPoint presentation to the California Horsemen....http://www.polytrack.com/presentation/index.html. You should be not getting any other info from PloyTrack from anywhere else other than Keeneland or Marty Collins.

They also never said that tracks had to do serious renovations to the surface -- like scraping the top 3 inches (March 2006) and spending even more money revising the top layer with spandex and cable coverings like TP did this summer.

And "Marty" as you call him clearly lied when he said the surface was "low kickback".

If you get information from Keeneland and Martin "Marty" Collins you'll never get the complete truth. They are in the business to sell Poly pure and simple.
