They really don't even need Polytrack at Hollywood. The track is pretty good there. The place they really need it is at Santa Anita. The track is terrible there. They've been having a lot of problems there. The track is so bad there and so many horses have been getting hurt, that they are going to close it for 2 weeks and do a bunch of tests to try to figure out what is wrong. They're going to check the base to see if there's a problem with the base. They think there could be holes in the base and that is what is causing the problems. I wish they'd put the polytrack at Santa Anita right now. They should leave Hollywood alone.

Polytrack is a brand name. Not all copy machines are made by Xerox. Not all tissues are made by Kleenex. Not all sugary carbonated drinks are made by Coke. Not all artificial racing surfaces are made by Polytrack.

Hollywood Park is installing a new surface. Call it an artificial surface. Call if by it's brand name which is Cushiontrack. Call it Bob for all I care.

It isn't Polytrack.

I'll call it "I'll never bet a damn dime on it Track" . This $hit will be the start of the end of horse racing and the breeding sheds mark my words.

I hate the stuff too. Why is Hollywood Park going to the surface? If they are looking to prevent further breakdowns, they are going about it in the wrong way. It's most likely not the surface...

So there is not going to be anymore breeding in the horse industry?
