If you hate poly and therefore hate betting AP, that's fine, but if you think fields are bad because of it, you are mistaken. It's all about the purses. You reallly want to see bad races? Imagine AP if they HADN'T put the poly in.

What it comes down to is my opinion that racing was fine there on the dirt. There was (in my opinion) no reason to change over to poly. Polytrack is ruining racing. Look at Keeneland...look at Del Mar....two meets that have become jokes. I just didnt see the need to switch in Chicago. AP is one of the best tracks in the country to attend live....great place....I just think they ruined it with poly.
