Shows there is only so much you can with the surface. As long as trainers are running sore horses they are going to breakdown.

They had 5 total breakdowns from the days I sampled. Im not counting 1 which I dont know about. It was eased, but I dont know the final result. The others all broke down. Just not what I would expect from a superior surface.

The "new" variation of poly (with the Spandex and cable coverings) might not be as "safe" as the old variation. It's certainly faster.

The jury is still out on how "safe" poly actually is. People jumped to conclusions after last season.

who am I missing?

I record pulled up, broke down and similar.
I record eased only if notation is made of being vanned off. I check every chart, every day, but have been known to screw up.

Someone is very diligent in posting these on the pedigreequery site, and is usually way ahead of me.
