This makes very little sense. More likely the Aqueduct part is pure BS and they want to put a synthetic surface in at Belmont so that Cuomo the thief can close the deal on his grand heist of Aqueduct for the State.
Why put in a synthetic track when the trend of those who have had them is to go back to a dirt surface? The inner surface seems to work just fine, though I have heard from a few riders that it badly needs to have the base redone.

Interesting. I could see a synthetic at aqueduct. One dirt, one synth?

I don't want any synthetic surfaces in NY. I agree w/ Point. Maybe an upgrade of the winterized inner surface.

If they drop the pick 4 and pick 5 minimums to $.20 and install tapeta it could possibly work.
It will hurt Tampa and FG. The expansion of the ADW is the best part of the story.

Is it a slow day at the site?
When I've supported synth tracks in the past I've faced some pretty nasty venom from you guys. At worst field sizes stay the same if they install synth in the inner. At best you get Presque Isle and Woodbine shippers and probably NY-bred turf specialists to stick around for the winter. I'm keeping an open mind at least.
