Plus, if they don't care about IL breds (or their horses in general), why did they switch to Poly in the first place?

They switched because so many horses broke down in 2006. At the time, Chalk trainer Christine Jenks blamed it on the trainers running horses that they shouldn't have been entering in races. Wouldn't surprise me if the same thing took place last season. If trainers are entering horses with really bad problems, then it probably doesn't matter what they are running on (quite a few will break down.) Really got to wonder if the vet in Chicago looks at the horses very much (on race day mornings.)
