Never been tried or tested in the U.S.? Sounds like the obvious way to go.

Certainly wouldn't want to use something as bizarre as conventional dirt.

From Steven Crist's DRF article regarding Frank's new mystery surface, "In 2008, the last year for which the Jockey Club has collected statistics, there were exactly 62 Thoroughbred races in Austria, and there are 12 days of racing scheduled for Ebreichsdorf this year. Nor is it particularly reassuring that the surface is otherwise being used only for show jumping."
