There are some patterns beginning to develop but I am not sure if they will be constant or not.
well,
Im not tryng to make any point concerning the handicapping of polytrack.
evey person is free to wager or not wager on polytrack racetracks.

my only point is that I hope the committee does look at what this crap has done to the quality of the fields on an individual basis and makes the appropriate downgrades.

I think there will be breeding implications as well.
