Re: [Derby] Tapeta
Totally agree. Gulfstream just can't get it right, and doesn't care about the product. Is Belinda to blame?
Add to that, last year they removed what was left of the grandstand seating and put in tables instead for the restaurant. All so they could make more $$$. To hell with the people who just want to go out and watch the racing. They have effectively run me off.
I'm surprised Magna hasn't effed up Santa Anita. On 12/21/2021 7:36 PM, Salvatore Carcia via Derby wrote:

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.
