Last fall those stats were published on their web page under handicapping and track stats.

I have not checked there recently. :)

Thanks, Dan, actually, I was wondering about the cushion/polytrack stats.
They were talking on the so.cal radio shows this morning about the number of breakdowns on cushion/poly compared to dirt.....basically the same.
I read recently that the national average winning favorites has been approx. 33% for the past 100 years. With the exception of, I believe it was 1926....it was close to 40%. So, with all our advanced technology....we haven't improved. However, it seems the % are down on the artificial surfaces?
