Cuomo Calls Aqueduct ‘A Waste’

[FT-TBC-TRF]

Aqueduct weatherizes the inner track and races on that in the winter.  Still, seems there were more breakdowns than usual on the inner track last winter, and if I recall, the weather cooperating, they switched back to the main track earlier than normal, because of the breakdowns.  Anybody's guess if the surface really was to blame or the shape of the turns or horses being run back too soon, what with nice lower end purses.

The warmer weather last winter was a large contributing factor to the breakdowns.The inner track is made for colder temperatures because of it's composure and large amount of salt.
