It's very good for fitness and stamina. Sand is a soft, safe surface but is also very good for fitness, it gives them a proper workout.
Also, some trainers just do it to change it up a bit. If a horse isn't enjoying his/her excerise he/she won't do it and therefore will not run well at the track. Changing the work and place it excerises can give the horse more enthusiasm.
