While Bay Meadows is running in the South Bay, Golden Gate Fields is installing the synthetic surface Tapeta on it's east bay racetrack. Tapeta was developed by Englishman Michael Dickinson and you can read all about it on their website.
The new Eire, PA track Presque Isle Downs was the first to install Tapeta. You can read wonderfully comprehensive coverage--from horsemen's impressions to track biases at Valerie's Foolish Pleasure blog.

Thanks for the plug, Brad! :)
I'll be there in person this Saturday, so hope to have some pics posted this weekend. Shaggy Mane is coming in from your neck of the woods...think she can handle racing in 40 degree temperatures? It has gotten awful chilly awfully fast in the past couple days...finally, autumn!
