Unfortunately, as patriotic as I am, that's true, indeed.

What is interesting to me is how the complaints about each track (or lack of them) vary by location. California seems to have more complaints than anybody, including Turfway (who suffered an extremely hard winter this last season) - Arlington virtually no complaints, and the temps this summer are much hotter and more humid than at Del Mar.

I don't know if that can be attributed to the individualization in the composition of the installations at these different tracks, or not.

Keeneland has their Poly fast enough to keep impressing buyers at the 2-year-old sales.
