Tarp on AQU Turf courses

[jnunan4759]

Looks like they've had some kind of tarp on the AQU turf courses this winter. Have never seen this before and wondered if anybody had any information on what was going on and what the reasoning is.

I know they are looking at carding turf races in 2 weeks (weather permitting). Will that grass grow that fast ? Or is this a different kind of tarp.

Just curious.
