And that doesn't take in to account turf races that were in the condition book, or on overnights as extras, that were not used in anticipation of rainy forecasts.

I was more about yesterday. I could see on a Big day of racing, but on a regular Sunday to see Tampa handle more was surprising. They handled more than Oaklawn too which also was surprising.

Thanks Steve. That’s a big number of races taken off the turf. It’s a shame since I heard some good things about the new turf course heading into the fall meet.
