However the biggest advantage I can speak of is rain days are no longer washed down to 4-horse races with no show etc. wagering and races coming off the turf for the most part remain intact.
Santa Anita was running three tractors with cultivators spinning/digging and fluffing up the surface along with the water trucks.
