"Applying 1/2 inch of stone dust on a frozen track would likely result in a slippery, unstable surface prone to refreezing, offering poor traction, and potentially creating a messy and hazardous condition upon thawing.
Here's a breakdown of why this is the case:
Slippery and Unstable: Stone dust consists of fine particles that compact into a dense, non-porous layer when wet. When this layer freezes, it becomes hard and potentially very slick, especially if any moisture is present on the surface or if the particles don't "bite" into the underlying ice. This creates poor traction, which is a major safety hazard for both people and animals.
Prone to Refreezing: Stone dust's non-porous nature means water doesn't drain through it easily; instead, it holds moisture near the surface. This standing water will quickly refreeze as temperatures drop, creating a continuous cycle of hazardous icy conditions.
Poor Traction: Unlike coarse, angular materials like #57 trap rock or traction grit, which provide mechanical grip by biting into the ice, fine stone dust does not offer effective traction on a frozen surface.
Messy and Hazardous Upon Thawing: When the material thaws, the trapped moisture combined with the fine dust will create a muddy, soft, and potentially deep mess, which can be hard to navigate and manage.
Clumping: As one report notes, in freezing weather, stone dust can clump up into hard, uneven balls, making the surface very hard and uneven for movement.
For frozen surfaces, materials that provide mechanical traction, such as coarse sand, grit (like chicken grit/cherry stone), or crushed angular gravel, are recommended over fine stone dust."

Question, if you put a 1/2 inch of stonedust on a frozen track what do you get ?
Who did this? Not a competent trackman. Much better to work the track all afternoon then ad surface a little at a time if needed

This response is why AI needs shut down now. What a joke

The long awaited NY Harness site was introduced .I just don't understand who its intended for, and how its going to grow the fanbase. What am I missing here?

Looks too me like it is a great resource too combat the morons that think the slots partnership is wasted money

When horses go 3 seconds faster after one week after being claimed
Or lifetime marks by 2 or three seconds week after being claimed
Yes it’s LUCPARK bitching cus he had a bad yr
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
I love when they give awards. 💯 percent knowing
Other horsemen. Owners and trainers were getting fcked
Yes I have something to bitch about
Pruitt and Morris.
Don’t correct the obvious issues. Pocono west is not far behind
Jmvfho
Please remind us of the last clean trainer you employed? I love deadbeats that cry when the drugs their trainers use can’t win.

Didn't he have a Cobalt positive not too long ago and blamed it on feed. 90% of the rich owners will not employ any trainer that isn't at the top of the standings. They first love is the almighty dollar with the health and welfare of the horses a distant second. Time to limit how many horses any one owner may have and it's time to start protecting local jurisdictions from the big owners.
That was one of many positive test.

At this point a better chance to be swept up. It's to bad the FBI is not around.
