Riot

Watch the card today and tell me if you think the cocking of the heads is a natural position for a horse straightening up for a drive. These horses are being fanned out deep because they WILL NOT run thorugh the kickback which is evident to anybody watching the races.

I would dispute anyone saying its a superior surface, its simply not. You have tracks in cal closing because they cant hold water, re-oiling of Turfway, cancellations at TWP because its frozen, breakdowns at Keeneland. They slowed Del Mar to a crawl because they were scared to tinker with the surface as it would change composition leading to more issues. Maybe its just me, but whats wrong with a traditional dirt surface like Saratogas training track.
