The very lifeblood of our industry is the gambling public, and I think they’ve been put at such a disadvantage trying to sort this thing out,” Lukas said. “I think it’ll run its course, and maybe in a couple years, they’ll dig them all up and get back to natural dirt.
“They have that Gamblers Anonymous for people who have that bad gambling habit. Polytrack will take care of that. They won’t need to worry about that anymore. People will quit gambling.”

I always liked D Wayne. His statements show he knows and understands Horse Racing from the important side of the equation. (The Horsemen and Bettors) The other side, the Administrators ( usually Blue Bloods) do not have a clue.
