Im talking more about our racing in general. Its tradition, all our champions, the greats of the game, all of these are established on the dirt. I just dont understand how we can change the surface and push it over as just being better for horses

I love horses, but the horses arent the ones who send in the money, the players are. When they switched to these crappy carpets it made it impossible to formulate a rock solid opinion, one you feel really confident in. I score on a horse this weekend at CHD named Godlophin Grey, he couldnt pick his feet up on carpet, and won like a monster at CHD. It just brings in more variables to a game that was very hard to beat originally.

Im disappointed we didnt have the forethought to realize what changing surfaces would do to serious players. Why would California mandate synthetics, but not mandate all tracks out there have the same surface? Whos in charge of all this buffoonery
