Breeders’ Cup Build up continues

A major topic amongst the racing media is the new surface at Santa Anita and the effect it may have:

Synthetic Track the Wildcard in Breeders’ Cup: "The 2008 Breeders’ Cup will be run at Santa Anita on October 24th and 25th over a new synthetic surface. The surface is a Pro-Ride surface that was installed over the summer and replaces the mess of a surface that Santa Anita had last year that wouldn’t drain and cost the track millions of dollars."

So far trainers seem to like the Pro-Ride surface better than Polytrack.
