In general, the only horses that are allowed to work on the grass are stakes horses. The exception is Saratoga, which has a grass training track (Oklahoma Training Track) that any horse can work on. I'm not sure how many months of the year that training track is open for. I think it's open for around 5-6 months of the year. And Palm Meadows Training Center down in Florida has a grass course that any horse can train on.
