Keenland is renovating the main track as we speak.

For those of you who may not know, Woodbine is installing the polytrack this summer to the tune of 8 - 10 million dollars, and the article I read about it suggests that the surface can be somewhat "tweaked" for our weather conditions up here.

Woodbine is going with an alternative surface, but I believe its not Polytrack. Its some other brand. Hold on lemme get it.... :wink:

Edit: I was wrong. Woodbine is going Polytrack. Hollywood Park went with Cushion Track. Del Mar is rumored to be going to Polytrack. Other brands out there are the aforementioned Tapeta and StaLok both involved in the Cali-track bids.
