Polytrack Form

pirates wrote: its common knowledge that you will rather run a horse up the straight from any draw than around the turn over 1200 and 1000m or don't you know by now that the strongest maiden fields were always at clairwood and now at scotsville ..where would you run over 1600m at scotsville or at greyville where they jump on the bend ,,,at greyville you are always on the bend whereas scotsville you aren't ,,,maybe you know more than the trainers who scratched their horses yesterday

Were you always good at maths,or just tangents...........Chill for goodness sake!
You started this personal abusive nonsense ........just get all your anger out and lets move on.
We both enjoy racing ,just don't agree on every aspect!

Are you two guys mates?

Somewhere I read (could have been here on ABC) that stats had been taken out in PE using horses that had run at least 3 times on both poly and grass and it indicated that 80% of horses ran within 3 lengths of their normal form on both tracks.

Craig ,I think that is right ,AND/BUT the form repeats itself more consistently on Poly.......and that is the point I was suggesting .
IMO this whole Poly/AW issue is a mindset .................nobody in the US thinks that only Turf racing is worthwhile .........in fact,on the contrary, it is secondary!
Ideally we will eventually embrace both.
I think that the problem with Greyville is not the surface ,but the tight restricted space they squeezed it into and I think that will be a problem they might regret, to some extent ,forever
