This is like baseball, some playing on natural and others on plastic (in the past), now they're all on natural.. Cappng is a pursuit, and amongst other things, comparison from one surface type to the other is a factor (and, no less, from one type of rubber to a different type of rubber). Is there enough interplay to draw any proven theory, or is it still wait and see)? Who benefits by this?

In a few weeks you can probably take Santa Anita off the list.

Andy,

I hope so,and I think Stronach will do it but he wants help with the cost and will not say so because he wants the release of the information (timing) to have the greatest impact.

The June CHRB meeting will be of great interest to horse racing people.

You can find a list in the dictionary under the word "shortsighted".

Yep. :ThmbUp:

It's also under the word "scheme".

Too many of these guys thought every track in the world would have synthetic surfaces. They thought they would make a bunch of money. :rolleyes:
