This will be year five of Polytrack. Are you satisfied that it’s delivered as promised? Why or why not?
The debate over racing surfaces is obviously a hotly contested one. From our standpoint the single biggest issue is safety, and it’s hard to argue with the positive results in this regard since we’ve had Polytrack. Simply, our fatalities and injuries are way down. Has it been perfect? I’ll be the first to admit, no. However, I have all the confidence in the world in track superintendent, Richard Tedesco.
