Michael please elaborate on what you meant by successful experiment in your previous post.

Successful relative to what. These synthetic surfaces whether it is Keeneland or SmellMar apprear to be a different as night and day. Runners who prefer grass have a big advantage over classic dirt runners.

I agree with what you say about next years BC at SA. If you have an outstanding dirt runner I would not be going any where near the place. The horses at SmellMar are running so slow the racing looks like a Friday night Card in the middle of February at Penn National.

A one paced plodding style. Horses wobbling all over the track down the stretch. I got ten times the buzz watching the Hambletonian Card at the Meadowlands yesterday. When SmellMar came on I went to the grocery.

When SmellMar Track Mgmt says they do not care about fixing the racing surface then why I should I care about their racing.
