All the horses stay much sounder training on the polytrack and all the horses train on the polytrack. So you would expect there to be more starters on both the turf and the dirt.

you'll get more turfers as they have an alternative if it rains, most of them handle the poly ok--can't say the same about a sloppy main track.

mudders may run out of places to run!
