SANDRACER.COM - Fibresand To Tapeta - Southwell 1st Meeting On New Surface Today (Tues, Dec 7, 2021)

I suppose it's a historic day for All Weather racing. Southwell's 1st meeting on the newly installed Tapeta surface. Out goes the old Fibresand, in comes the new Tapeta.

Why? The track owners say Tapeta is safer re injuries to horses, less kickback and is easier to maintain during cold spells.

Trainer Comment: About the new Tapeta surface, Ed Dunlop says: “I am very pro the switch from Fibresand to Tapeta."

Sandracer Comment: Wolverhampton started it's All Weather racing on Fibresand, switched to Polytrack, changed again and now uses Tapeta also, so there must be something in it.
