All Weather track thought could this work
I was thinking about this the other night and I am not sure that this is even a viable option. Lets Take Aqueduct for instance I think this could be the perfect place to maybe implement this thought. Why could you not take the inner track and turn it into one of the All weather surfaces that is out there. and Leave the main track as it is. That way in th Dead of winter u could strickly use the all weather surface. But here is my thought as the weather breaks why could you not card races on both the main track and the all weather track. that way horsemen could have the best of both worlds. As you guys know there are trainer's out there that love the artifical stuff and others who would like to stick to the traditional dirt surface. PLus the benefit in the AM training you could have the choice of training on either surface.
PLus turf races when taken off the lawn would have the option of MAin track or All Weather. Another advantage if you had a main track that has had a tremedous amount of rain and is very sloppy, muddy they could be switched to the All weather track.
Anythoughts out there could this possibly work or is it just a pipe dream
