Remember the big polytrack craze when it all started a few years back? it sure died pretty quick.

I would wager so much more if Keeneland was dirt. Speed biased or not.
The Blue Grass could actually be a real prep again.

After rushing to a decision that ultimately completely ruined California racing, they are finally getting everyone back to dirt. What was the damn point? They've lost so many people like myself that won't wager on this junk that I don't know if they can ever get back.

Premium meet? The turf is fine but the main track is a sideshow. And it's remarkable how the 'racing as it's meant to be' Keeneland organization that people slavishly fawn over, has completely escaped criticism for their craven money grab as partner with Polytrack/Martin Collins. They singlehandedly precipitated this preposterous 'synthetic era' before quietly disassociating themselves.
