What is an all-weather polytrack racecourse?
The new generation Polytrack is a combination of plastic fibres, PVC granules, soft rubber blend and high grade sand which are all blended with a coating wax. A proprietary plastic fibre is produced in a manner which provides an irregular cut and supplies the same characteristics as the root structure in good turf.
The sand used comprises of carrying gradients which consequently provides an interlocking effect. When mixed with the sand, the fibre reduces hoof penetration and keeps the horses 'on the top' decreasing the risk of stress and strain as well as improving energy return.
