Keeneland is off the turf which is somewhat baffling since the next race they will run on it will be in six months. Did they actually get enough rain to make it unsafe?

There was a frost last night, but still.. Agree it's a little silly.

So, I see from your Work Tab thread that Churchill had works on the grass this morning and still Keeneland (75 miles to the East) is off the turf. The sun is out and their first turf race is approximately 6 hours of sunshine after the CD turf works.

TFM is losing his mind over this decision.
