Turf Sprinting
The Gulfstream Park Championship meet as it is called does not lack for two things: turf sprints and tapeta races. Turf sprints I like, tapeta I have not yet embraced. With the recent announcement Belmont Park will be adding a synthetic track if the renovation takes place I may have to adjust. It seems the synthetic tracks are making a comeback.
