perhaps the chrb would have been better served if they had a length of time and then forced a rework of the base and surface, but left the surface make-up up to the track.
no dirt tracks in cali at all. that can't be good when you have a horse that doesn't like awt or turf. then what do you do? how will this affect cali breeding? very short-sighted approach from them. but hey, the govt always knows best, right?
