More Polyturf/Polytrack

[The Bid]

Its becoming even more disturbing than ever. With the winter season moving in I think we are going to have some major issues at TWP and W'bine. Hopefully the same geniuses that came up with this wonderturf can figure out how to make it all weather and safe again.

For handicappers, I think for lightly raced horses, its more difficult figuring how horses off good races on Poly will do on real dirt than the other way around. Like I said on another thread, Churchill so far has been more random than Keeneland.

I just don't know how you can see things that way. Your opinion but, I can cash more win bets in a weekend at CD than at the whole meet at KEE.

I never understood the concept of racing on polytrack. Its only good for horses training on it. Horses spend more time training than they do racing.

I used to think that way....until this current meet started. Now instead of handicapping Polytrack horses running on Polytrack, we're handicappng a bunch of Polytrack horses running on real dirt. Obviously I'd rather have only real dirt but now one never knows if a horse is in good form or if the good Poly race was fraudulent.
