Biancone, cold with 2 year olds, my theory why

You people crack me up with the PolyTrack debate. To address the Breeding issue. Breeding will survive and adapt. People will still buy horses to race and etc etc. The philosophy of breeding to be breed the best to the best and hope for the best and that philosophy will hold true.

2nd, not every track is going to to go to PolyTrack. Some need it and some dont.

3rd, not every trainer likes it and not every trainer hates it. Trust me, trainers will follow the money. Just like this year prep races at Turfway Park. Pletcher, Lukas, Zito, Asmussen, Brothers and Baffert all raced their horses at Turfway this year.

And how does it get determined and by who which tracks need Polytrack?

Help me out on that comment.

Well it will be up to each individual track to make the call. IMO Woodbine, Turfway, Aqueduct INNER TRACK or any cold weather track could benefit from a synthetic surface. Santa Anita, Churchill, Gulfstream Saratoga, Belmont do not need a synthetic surface. But it is the tracks call, not mine.

They all will eventually go to tarpeta for their training tracks. It is just much easier on the horse and owners love the cheaper vet bills and knowing they will get more races out of their horse.

Oh I think every training track should go to a synthetic surface.

I wonder if Dickinson will stick his finger in the polytrack like he did to prepare Tapit for the 2004 Derby. I guess we'll find out as soon as he has another horse worthy of running in a stakes race.
