Zayat is Leaving; Baffert hates it

[Riot]

I made it from L'ville in about 45 minutes, thats how bad the weather was.

It takes me over an hour in good weather to make that trip! I guess that makes you graded stakes, and me claiming company, driving-wise

Its just not an all weather surface, it freezes

If I recall it right, the water retained in the track froze, clogging the draining process, and the retained water in the track made the ice clods people are talking about and you referenced. I don't know what they could do about that. I do know they still had more open days than when it was dirt. Why they didn't consult other cold-weather track supers, like Sniper suggested, before Keeneland purchased an interest in the synthetic surface company (predestining Turfway to conversion first), I don't know.
