Umm, I really don't know what the "real reason" is that you are eluding to. I honestly don't. But I will make you an offer. Attend workouts with me some morning up here and I can ask some trainers in front of you what they think about it and you can hear it for yourself. I'm not making this stuff up as i go along.

Michael Dickinson stands to make millions. He owns the material. His "Tapeta" is the best surface in the world. Matz, and everyone else love it and it will likely be the surface on all racetracks by the year 2010.

Instead of the Polytrack used at Turfway, Fair Hill is turning to trainer Michael Dickinson, who has been manufacturing his own all-weather track surface for eight years — a concoction called Tapeta, a mix of sand, polyethylene fibers, polypropylene fibers, recycled rubber and wax.

And this affects me in what way? Last time I read he was one of those being considered in California but they chose a rival company to his and Polytrack's as well. I did read that Fair Hill installed his surface but I have not read about his company being chosen anywhere to install his surface.
Either way, who gives a ****?
My concerns are about the health of the breeding industry.

And mine too... we have enough problems with unsound horses being bred.
