I think it will cripple the sale Cannon. The median price of horses will drop drastically with sires being unproven on poly. I dont generally buy into the idea that turf horses like poly either, I think its a completely different surface all together. Also I dont think all polys are created equal, different composition.
At the very least there will be a very cool market in the median pricerange...between 30 and 150. How can you buy a horse by a sire whos unproven to produce a runner over a surface? I wouldnt do it and I buy every year.
Love Keeneland, I dont like politics playing a role in the games future. I think Keeneland getting involved with poly has forced it along, there should have been a period of tests, checks, and balances, instead of a rush to install POLY
