The challenge that tracks is going to have is to keep the surface warm enough so the track isnt playing so fast. They have more and more work to do. But, we have the surface down at good tracks where the business can learn what to do and what not to do. We need testing tracks and Turfway is a perfect track to conduct that testing.

Euro, the whole point of this stuff was to be maintenence free. That was the argument in many cases before the garbage was even put down. So now what? Install heaters underneath the surface to keep the track warm? Come on...
While we're at it, why don't we just put a superdome over all of the tracks up north to prevent the freezing?
