Right now, the industry seems to be focused on different racetrack surfaces besides traditional turf and dirt.
This has caused a great deal of controversy among horsemen, and the jury is still out as to if surfaces such as
•Polytrack
•Cushion Track
•Tapeta Footings
•Equitrack
Are indeed safer for horses or not, some folks believe they are but on the other hand some horsemen continue to prefer a traditional dirt surface.

Other than surfaces, betting technology has been a bit different than in the past. Years ago, one could only wager on their own local track and through a human teller. Now there are self betting machines, simulcasting from tracks around the country and the world, internet wagering, simulcast outlets and casinos like in Vegas or Atlantic City that have wagering rooms.
Also, many racetracks are lowering the minimum bet. For many years, the minimum was always $2. However, in most pools in New York you can wager $1 to win also many racetracks now have a ten cent superfecta, and Retama Park in Texas offers ten cent trifecta wagering as well. These lower base bets are viewed as more appealing and advantageous to most professional players because they can beat the witholding tax on big wins by purchasing multiple .10 tickets as opposed to one $1 or $2 base ticket.
