Injuries down on Turfway Poly

[Riot]

"Elliston noted that since Turfway began racing on its Polytrack surface in September 2005, there had been an average of one catastrophic breakdown per 1,000 starters, versus around three per 1,000 starters on the conventional dirt surface. The national average in 2007 for conventional surfaces was a little more than two breakdowns per 1,000 starters."

“In that horizon, we have seen nearly a 50% reduction in breakdowns relative to the national average on our all-weather surface, so we’re pretty happy about that,” Elliston said.
