Mike is absolutely right. It is painfully obvious at this point in time that wagering on these new surfaces is pretty much close your eyes and hope. Sure, you are going to be right once in a while but at least so far it is definitely a different surface than grass and dirt...

When you are in line to get a 10-12 million dollar contract, you promise the moon and stars until the ink is dry on the paper and your money is wired. Only after that do you start to address possible problems.
I have a real problem with the bill of goods that the public and racetracks were sold. Sure sounds like a bait and switch to me. Imagine they never tested the stuff in extreme cold and then sold it to a Canadian track? LOL!!
