Default some thoughts on poly after running over it

i am all for making it safer for the animals and i have defended poly on here in the past but i dont like the way the surface is now at turfway as opposed to last year. way too fast this year as evident by the times. 5000 claimers goin 111 over it. last year my trainer ran a horse there for 13.5 and he won and was given a very nice fig for the race, final time for 3 quarters.....114. we ran a filly over it this past saturday and she didnt like it whatsoever and was breathin funny afterwards when cooling out. one thing everybody does there is spray their horses feet with pam(cooking spray) or wd-40 to prevent it from balling up in their feet. i dont understand the fascination with tracks being lightining fast, lol i suppose faster times are gonna draw more fans to the game. the jock who we brought down to ride from here likes the surface
