Pgard, they TRAIN on it. yeah they run some minor races on it in the winter, but training is its primary function.
You can talk to a lotta trainers who will tell you that their horses train fine on grass(how many times have we read that before a stakes horse makes his grass debut?), but they don't run on it worth a damn.
I'm hearing the same thing as Joel, trainers say they train ok on it, but don't race worth a damn on it.
