Have the NY horseman been clamoring for this? I genuinely don’t know the answers to this.
Do the politicians and activists insist on a synthetic surface? I’m sure they did although I can’t confirm.
Will NYRA will go the way of gulfstream and say they’ll only card these races in the spring/fall in off the turf scenarios and then reverse course? We’ll see.

No one despises NYRA more than me. But this is an EXTRA track. They can train on it; they can use it for off the turf; and they can card the odd race. I get Gulfstream synth is somewhat funky and has been overused, but if you hate synth - and I don’t - I don’t think you have to worry.
