Racing needs to hire a firm with a background in materials engineering/science to develop artificial tracks. DuPont might be one to start looking at.

Poly, Cushion, you name it came from people like Michael Dickinson and Martin Collins. Granted they may be horsemen -- but they are not engineers and scientists. The input of horsemen is vital -- but let the engineers and scientists formulate, develop, and test the product.

Poly may indeed work well for walks, gallops, and even training tracks. For racing it is certainly having serious problems.
