I still think we should have a few tracks with artificial surfaces but I dont believe they should be spotlighted on days like breeders cup or any of the triple crown races ever. Last year do you think curlin would have lost the classic on dirt? This year it cost us dearly of seeing Rachael alexandria against Zenyata. Horse of the year will probably go to Zenyata and or Rachael Alexander but if we didnt have poly we wouldnt be having this discussion. Its Rachael by 10.
