I am aware that TP has an artificial surface.The dust plume following the horses as they approach the clubhouse turn is very noticeable; it looks like a scene from Lawrence of Arabia. I do not see the same thing at other fake surface tracks. What type of composition is TP using as opposed to Calif., AP, etc...

TP uses Polytrack, (http://www.polytrack.com/default.aspx) same as Arlington Park, Del Mar, Keeneland, and Woodbine.

TP modified the proper polytrack mix and it did not work. It was supposed to have been replaced. There is almost no kickback on proper polytrack.
