call it the track or whatever but any time a horse breaks down it sucks....this one especially for me since I knew him as a baby.

Sorry to hear that. I don't like the synthetics but will never understand the efforts people are going to here to make such a huge deal out of every breakdown on them.

I think it's more than that if the injury numbers are comparable to dirt racing at Santa Anita last year then we have quite a little problem here or 10 million poorly spent When the first workouts started coming back as a little fast I thought there might be an issue.

"The works in the morning have been a little quick," said Mike Harlow, Oak Tree's Director of Racing, " Bloodhorse

To me this translates into trouble if the surface is failing to deaden impact and slow times somewhat. We might have a bigger story than you think.

i agree. certainly wasn't this much attention dedicated to every breakdown when we only had two surfaces.
as for the money spent, it didn't come out of my pocket. as for the track, hopefully they will work at fixing any problems immediately, rather than waiting til meets end like del mar.
hollywood seemingly had no problems, perhaps everyone should be in touch with them.

Sorry guys... it's not goin away...

Your arguments for the most part are pretty accurate, but IT'S NOT GOIN AWAY. Not at S.A., Del Mar, Arlington, or Presque Isle... but maybe Woodbine if you're lucky lol jk
