Default Need Help with school project....

For my senior Business English class I am writing a paper that I work for a company that is looking to replace something that is old with newer equipment to better meet future and current needs....I decided to do a racetrack and replace the dirt surface with the choice of polytrack, tapeta, and cushion track. (have to use exactly 3 different choices) I have to decide on which one to use in the paper and provide lots of detail...

I need help if anyone can provide me with any kinds of research on any of the 3 tracks or information in general....not looking for peoples personal opinion....I am having a hard time finding any research or detailed info on the 3 types of tracks so any help will be great!!! thank you

Don't know if you get the Blood-Horse magazine but they had a pretty good series on synthetic surfaces in their Dec. 8th, 2007 issue.

I think the Santa Anita officials had trouble locating info too.

Obviously I side with Michael Dickinson. A masterful trainer and obviously talented and smart horseman. GO TAPETA.
