I had a fake SMP which split at the nose. Don't think I even noticed it for a week or so, certainly not a catastrophic failure. Suspect it would have been fine anyway, but built it up with fabric tape and glue and it's been fine since.

OTOH do you need a carbon saddle for track? Maybe just strip an SLR or something

no not really, but I could always use it for hill climbs if it lasts til Autumn or i don't like it. I just need to change my saddle - the other end of the (price) spectrum is trying something stubby like a Spesh Power or Pro Stealth

I feel like a saddle is such a simple thing that it should be obvious if it badly made/finished/likely to fail. Moreso than rims or frames. I personally wouldn't have an issue using one but as always YMMV
