" all weather track, which I dislike immensely "
I wouldn't say I dislike it immensely. I still play Woodbine and Presque Isle, but I never even give much thought to it being a different surface.
I'm not sure I ever learned how to play poly track. As I understand it, it plays more like turf and turf runners sometimes do well on it. That's about all I know about it. It does seem like it's the opposite of natural dirt in that the closers have the advantage instead of the pace setters, but don't know whether the stats would support that.
Does anyone remember the old Pick 6 Challenge on the ESPN website? The last time I played in the challenge, I was in the top ten on the leaderboard and the last 6 races came up on a poly track. I didn't hit a single one. But of course, I'm a better player now. Ha Ha.
