3 year old Turfers on the Poly.

[MaTH716]

If you owned a 3 year old that was bred for the turf, would you run him in a Derby prep race that is contested over a Polytrack? I know that it is early in the Poly debate, but it seems like the turf horses like to run on it. So, would you run in the race even though you have no intention on going to the derby? The purse money is great, plus a chance to get some bold type on a surface that might be the future of the sport. What does everyone think?

Sure, why not?

I believe it would be interesting to see if shoe size correlates to success on poly in any way.

I remember handicapping talk about horses with larger shoes doing better on turf in general.
