If the bettors don't like it and there is a big drop in handle, that will be pretty much be the end of polytrack. We will see what happens here in California. I am cautiously optimistic.

this crop of three year olds will be the test.
the times for the three year olds in the dirt preps races have long been documented and scrutinized almost to a fault. any deviation between the spring 2007 times and the past will quivckly be noted by those who care and follow the spring races.
what should also be noted most quickly is whether or not the hollywood futurity winner makes it to the derby this year.
both declans moon and steviebrokenhorse both had their bids shortened before May. It will interesting to note how this years winner fares in 07.
