After today, it is clear that Mode 4 needs to separate dirt and poly.
They are not compatable. No dirt horse had a shot for two days.

Done, all future versions of HTR software have been changed with PL-4 seprating Dirt from Poly.

Was it just me or do they have the major problems with ProRide figured out now?

It was very safe and uneventful Donnie, but maybe here's why -

The Br Cup scrutiny was super cautious - they announced that 8 vets would check and re-check every entrant at least 3 times before they were allowed to compete. The grounds crew ripped and tilled until that poly was good enough to plant Iowa corn. Drug testing was extra thorough (another reason why the Euros did so well).

Add all that together and you it makes for a 100% safe weekend of racing on the ProRide. Give them all an A+ for keeping it honest and injury free and a positive presentation for the world of sports.

Perhaps all the above explains why SA was awarded the event two straight years. Not to mention we had beautiful weather here this weekend.

I had some of this corn, but it was hard to chew, tasted a bit rubbery. <cue the rim shot> :D
