My favorite part of the article is when they say the track seems to react to colder temperatures. Gee, thats shocking, I thought it was all weather. The horses on stilts was pretty interesting as well. I wish they would have spoke a little about a horse losing an eyeball due to kickback. Maybe that will be in the next episode of as the polytrack turns.
The term "all-weather" is becoming an oxymoron for Polytrack. Apparently its the "when the temperature is between 32 and 85 all purpose track". The folks at TP and Kee should've done their research; everyone knows the winters in the U.K. aren't as severe as here, and the summers aren't as hot, either.
