Is Poly considered a success or failure at Keeneland?

I am pretty neutral on Keeneland. I dont know if the handle numbers would be down less or more or be the same if they had a dirt track. Field size is still pretty good and the meets are so short and lucrative that it is a different situation than other tracks. Not to mention that Keeneland owns the American rights to polytrack so all information coming from them will be slanted. I do know guys like Zito hardly ever run there now and some players that dont bet the nonturf races but the old track was really bad and almost completely biased. Turfway sucks regardless of surface.

I wonder if Hollywood will try to sell their surface when all is said and done.Maybe they could get some good coin for it,along with all the piping underneath.
