You need not know anything about racing in order to discern that.
And yes, horses poop on the track. When you get enough rain, it mixes and percolates down thru the other layers, this is the entire basis of a septic system for those of you who don't know. Track surfaces are engineered to allow all that thru.
SO my idea that the SA track is not percolating properly is not at all off-base. The eye witness "smell" thing caught my attention, and then when he mentioned the extremely compacted underneath clinched it. As a matter of fact, I would put money on that being a big part of the problem.

Weak logic. A racetrack base is not like a septic tank. Arkansas is not California.
I could fo on and in about the weak anecdotal stuff here and implied corellation but hockey is on soon.
None of this is meant to poo poo the loss of equine life. Bbut like the drunk and his keys, the answer isnt always the easiest place to look.
