i know some don't care for links posted, while others do-not sure how many who visit here visit equidaily, but i find it a good place to keep up with a lot of racing newsas it posts from all over the nation, as well as worldwide news-even has stuff from here on occasion. it's a daily routine for me, here many times, while also checking out t'bred times, drf, bloodhorse...
at any rate, the link above is from an article that ran in paris. eye opening stats about how racing here compares to worldwide, as well as a few sentences on that frequent topic of poly-that bit alone was something i thought many would find of interest.
