At least for us, Turfway served a real purpose last Jan-March...The purses obviously aren't great, but if you are based in the midwest and part of your stable are Poly/Grass horses that aren't good enough to run on what FG calls grass and you don't want to ship to Tampa, Turfway was a nice bridge to AP.
