A synthethic surface would definitely be a plus for Aqueduct's inner oval. The current surface was built to be all-weather but Poly is much better for that. Plus it's ability to reduce injuries makes it a plus anywhere. The fact that few really major races are run on the inner track will keep the traditionalists from getting in a tizzy.
The problem is that with NYRA near bankruptcy, they are unlikely to spend the millions needed for the resurfacing.
Hopefully, whoever gets the new franchise will replace the old inner-tube with the new rubber of Poly. It even sounds appropriate.
