Polytrack Unbanned G — Extra Quality

In the world of horse racing, surface technology has always been a battlefield between tradition and innovation. For decades, purists clung to natural dirt and turf, while engineers pushed for synthetic solutions to reduce injuries and provide consistent going.

However, by 2014, most of these tracks ripped out their Polytrack and returned to dirt.
