So, I would assert that polytrack likely addressed a problem at TP, and, that problem was related to the freezing and/or hard ground. Maybe even a problem with maintaining the track during that part of the year. But do the same set of conditions and circumstances exist throughout all venues? Some but certainly not here in southern California.
Thanks, Valuist, for the history lesson.

Exactly true about it being totally unnecessary in SoCal. I've always contended that the only North American track that should have it is Turfway. Arlington only put it in after the Chicago Tribune went on a smear campaign to bury Arlington after a higher than usual number of breakdowns on their main track in 2006.
