All winter racing should be on polytrack for the safety of horses. Dirt tracks in cold weather are very dangerous and very hard on horses.

I put horses health first, you seem to put gamblers (and their dislike of poly because their thorograph sheets are useless) first. Do you care about horses or are they just numbers to you that you bet on and then watch them be taken away in the truck when they are done?
The main is out not because they don't know how to take care of it -- it's because they know; and what they know is the way to take care of it after the water damage is with time. There has been no commentary about the inner. It is a completey different surface. I am a supporter of the alternative track surfaces but to just use that as an end all or cure all answer is not the answer in my opinion.

More importantly, any news on Jose?
