I think lots of horseman would welcome poly/synthetic track instead of the Inner at the Big A.. The winter is rough and poly has to be easier to maintain. Having a track that is good shape to train and race on all winter isn't too bad an idea. So much money is spent opening and closing and harrowing tracks in the winter. it's a lot of work and it comes at a huge cost. Do you really love that inner biasis towards speed? Plus maybe they can have the main Aqueduct track open a tad bit earlier they already are racing on the turf two weeks before they used too with the advent of the plastic wrap
