Contship Container Tracking

Those who must perform on Polytrack, or Cushion Track, or any of the new synthetic surfaces, the Thoroughbreds themselves, can't express their likes and dislikes directly, but there has been some body language in regard to their preferences.

What the horses say

Apparently, Hard Spun, the Larry Jones-trained colt of 2007 that fought so hard in the Triple Crown races, didn't care what kind of track he used. He ran on anything, anywhere and did fine. His early races were on synthetics, and he was a consistent winner. When he entered the classics, switching gears to regulation dirt tracks, he was still a competitive, front-running wizard.

Pyro, on the other hand, this season seemed to notice a significant difference in changing from dirt tracks to a synthetic surface. Pyro hit Polytrack for the first time in the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes, finished 10th, and dropped off the radar screen after being rated the No.2 three-year-old in the country behind then healthy War Pass.
