Fairview Pollytrack

Looks good. Any ideas how to rate horses on polytrack vs turf? At least, what can we expect?

Jack , do you remember the old allweather tracks in the UK? they used to be speciality tracks your horse either acted on it or they didnt a bit like the vaal or southwell now.But the trainers all loved the poly,most runners seem to act on it..

I can't imagine there being a false rail,perhaps a small spur.
Brand new form and I don't know abt MR situation but can only spell trouble for punters initially.On the other hand ...

Well Greyville had a cockortwo race....<

The first loads of fibre are down and should be on track for completion at end of July.

@Englander, Racing at Arlington will cease permanently once we start racing on Polytrack. EC has to have 2 racing "facilities" or "surfaces" to comply with license.

@Jack Dash, we think that MRs will be worked as currently used for grass to sand. Horses will have to have 3 runs using "grass" MR before getting a "Poly" MR.

Track will be quick and no false rail .

From the photo the track looks really tight ! There will be a few hard luck stories there!

Whats the Maximum field going to be 10? 12?

Straight about 450 meters

Maximum. 16 runners

Shew 16 runners is plenty for a tight track...:

Shouldn't be such a big problem.Just have to wait for any Snaith runner with half a chance to be ridden by the experienced Richard Fourie (has ridden on some tight courses overseas)to put the money on.

If i had anything to do with PE racing that track would be anti clockwise
