Tony,
Silicisis is caused by years of exposure to microscopic crystals of silica, which is what coal miners are exposed to. I doubt that it would be a component of the poly-track. if there is sanything microscopic enough to get into the horses' or jockeys' alveoli in the lungs, it's miost likely something that is also present in the dirt of regular tracks. The rubberized bits they put into poly-track are too big to get into the lungs.
