Every stakes race was won by a local trainer and every jockey outside of Mike Smith who won a stakes race rides at Turfway.

Will this home field advantage last? Of course not. Through time the top trainers and horses will dominate on this surface just like they do on turf and dirt.

No pillow they wont. many horses just hate it. Its not something they will grow accustomed to, just like grass, they like it or they dont.
