yeah,
its got a long stretch that mostly plays fair and a turf course that is equally fair to speed or closers.

I love FG, I just hope it returns with decent purses and field sizes.

The last couple of years before the flood the turf was mostly green painted dirt. Most all of the early turf races came of the turf because of the sad shape of the turf. Hope the turf course has bounced back with the inactivity there.

I am so glad Fair Grounds is back. It's always been one of the tracks that I 'get', unlike a certain Ontario track near Etobicoke that shall remain nameless.
