Give it a harsh winter -- and then tell me it handles winter weather. So far on even mild snow days they close and then blame the roads. They can't really plow the snow off the poly as easily as they did with the dirt. Again, if that drainage system freezes and fails they are going to have serious issues with horses hitting a frozen bottom. They won't know it until they run.

That would be like the Bears saying " you know we really did not play very well yesterday but the saints were awful so we won but we really dont know if we are good but we are lucky"
Maybe all those things that you said will happen if there is a really harsh winter but then again regular dirt would not be any better would it? As a matter of fact the other 10 months out of the year polytrack will be better than Turfways old surface which was awful regardless of the weather.
