The only thing revolutional about Polytrack is the kickback, its higher and harder than ever.

I'm simply triying to understand your point. Let me just ask a final question.
Are you convinced that the synthetic surfaces cause more breakdowns and soreness and are less safe for horses than dirt?
I think you are the one in fact who is mistaken if you think people at Woodbine and Turfway believed that the change would result in the end of soreness and breakdowns.
You say there are problems with those surfaces, and for sure there are. But its not as if there are not the same and probably more problems with dirt.
Synthetic racing surfaces are probably the worst racing surfaces... except for all other racing surfaces.
