Like I said, they've just been lucky -- wait until they see about 1-2 feet of snow on the poly. Tough to scrape the poly without pulling up all the carpet fibers and shards of spandex underwear along with the snow.

I have been there as well when the weather around turfway was horrible. But you have to remember that they have horses that ship in from Louisville, Columbus, Anderson etc etc. The weather up north from Turfway was rather bad (from what I heard). Both of my horses worked on Sunday and the track was absolutely perfect. I am like you in the sense that I want to see what happens when there is a couple of inches of snow covering the track.
