Tapeta is safer. But, I am not buying that it is the future of horseracing. Maybe, it should be. But horseracing doesn’t appear to be going in that direction. Gulfstream put in Tapeta to preserve the turf courses. It ended up being the worst of both worlds for the the bettor. Tapeta is unformful at this point and the turf courses are too narrow for the jocks to run freely. So, the bettors are facing two unplayable surfaces.
