Tracks do this all the time. NYRA is especially bad about this ( though this past year or so they have been more liberal about staying on the turf....smarter management understands losing turf races kills handle ). The first day they are on the turf after coming off they always list the turf as yielding in a convaluted attempt to justify taking the races off the turf the previous day. As though somehow giving out misinformation doesn't compound the sin of unnecessarily taking races off useable ground the day before.
I understand some of Gulfstream's thinking with races coming off, as it is a long meet, but this doesn't coincide with starting the meet with four ( and sometimes five ) turf races a day.....and many of them being cheap horses. Don't get me wrong, the more turf races the happier I am, cheap or better, but they seem to be saying two different things. They built a great new turf course.....trust it and use it.
