Very different...
Seems the issue to me is climate, as Keeneland seems to be doing well (which 95% of the time has temperate, mild & relatively dry climates during their two meets- in fact, similar to the UK where synthetics have been generally successful), whereas Turfway and Santa Anita have been HORRIBLE in extreme climates.
Rip them all out and go back to dirt.
