Badgett said there are several other upsides to installing the Tapeta track.
“We can also move regularly scheduled races on the dirt to the Tapeta if the main track gets too sloppy, we can use it in the morning for training, and perhaps even write some of the cheaper claiming races that normally would be run on the turf for the Tapeta instead,” Badgett explained. “That would help keep the turf course pristine for the better horses, the allowance races and the stakes.”

I can’t say I’m excited to see them add a Tapeta course...but if this plan actually works to keep their turf course in better shape then I guess I support it.
