Bob,
I am not a fan of poly racing notwithstanding that it MAY be safer than any dirt track. No one has really fooled with dirt composition as they have with poly.Racing has been conducted on dirt since the beginning. Horses have broken down since the beginning of racing and will continue to do so in the future, even on poly.Horses were not made to race in the first place so the issue of safety for jocks and horses can only be guaranteed by eliminating the game entirely.
To fool with an industry of billions of dollars without guaranteeing the entire elimination of breakdowns is not worth the change imo, and I appreciate yours.Racing is primarily about gambling and poly will do nothing in that regard except maybe drive away many bettors due to the all too often chaotic results.
