Hey, guess explains the TP $19K 10-cent super <g>

In the current Bloodhorse issue cover article, it was mentioned that it takes a while to "establish" before consistency is observed - but then Collins described Del Mar's interest in Polytrack thusly:

"What we're hoping for is (a surface) to put up with the four seasons." "Del Mar would be a completely different thing. They have longer sunshine, so the surface would require more wax. At Turfway, the fiber is better than the fiber (on the training track) at Keeneland. The rubber is also different, and we used a different grade of sand."

"You never get two Polytrack surfaces the same".
