Problems with Hollywood park's new track?

[georgewashington]

The problem is human error taking care of the surface. The surface is working. Injuries are way down. The surface they put in is not as good as poly though, but that is coming from somebody that is partial to KY, not CA.

So far the number of injuries is way down," Panza said. "The first seven to eight weeks of training it was staggering how few injuries we had. Then as we got horses with physical issues from other tracks, the numbers picked up, but they are nowhere comparable to last year or previous years. This time last year I had 1,100 horses stabled here; this year there are 1,800.

Tell that to Pletcher and Tabor who lost a wonderful animal yesterday morning. I'm sure they are thrilled about it.
