Default Could poly bring back the 12 furlong "dirt" race?

This is NOT to argue whether or not polytrack is a good thing. I think we can all agree on two things so far:

1) Horses come back less sore after running on polytrack.

2) Turf horses do well on polytrack.

Considering those two factors wouldn't it be reasonable to think that if tracks with polytrack began carding 12 furlong stakes races on them that they might actually fill? Could it potentially lead to a rebirth in 12 furlong "dirt" racing in the US? Any thoughts?
