![]() 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? |

Why? So we can spend another 30 seconds watching one good horse beat up on four slow horses? No thanks. |

![]() Me, I'd rather watch Martha Stewart than to watch anything less than graded stakes horses run 12f. Ever catch some of those 5k claimers that go 10f in about 2:13? COmpletely boring. I'm not sure why the poly would have any impact on whether or not they go back to more 12f though...

Maybe you like your sprint races, but the fact that we no longer have horses with the ability to have speed & stamina over a course of ground is just pathetic. The turf horse have maintained this ability for the most part while the American dirt horse hasn't. |

I was joking with the wording of your post not the intentions. I prefer turf racing to dirt for betting and think the entire industry is its own worst enemy. Thus, in essense, I am for anything they currently are NOT doing. |
