I really haven't followed the turf to poly/cushion angle for awhile, I think there was some validity to this when Keeneland went to it and to some extent Hollywood Park first went to it. I'm just not sure what to think as there seems to be mulitple forms of synthetic tracks making it hard to gauge. Will it be an advantage?
