What I mean by that is that it is hard for a horse to get a good grip on the surface. Big clumps of Poly, as well as dust, are now being kicked up by horses. I also dont think it has been playing as fair as it once did.

I appreciate the feedback. I don't know much about Poly outside of what I have read and watched on TV. I have not been to a track that had poly yet.

I would agree with the part about it playing fair. It seems like you have to have a truly superior animal in order to win on the lead.
