I thought things might radically change when Woodbine put in the Tapeta. NOTHING like that happened and horse injuries went WAY DOWN.

I worked there for about 10 years as the photofinish camera at both the standardbred and thoroughbred meets. The only thing that really changed was the sound: Tapeta made the hoof noise almost nonexistent.
