Turfway and Woodbine have a different mix, which is because they run in the winter (they started with the AP, KEE, DM mix, then changed it due to it freezing and balling up in the horses hooves).

Arlington's is a lighter color, almost like an ocean sand from a distance.

Thanks for that.

Sounds like Arlington have the same style as Wolverhampton do. Probably not exact, but that is a very light colour, where as Lingfield is a much darker colour polytrack
