Then why card 4 turf races in a 9 race card if the course has been a mine field for weeks? Any thoughts to FG following GP lead by adding a second turf course next year. FG had to know starting prior to Thanksgiving this year was going to cause problems with wear and tear on the turf course. Very strange not to just shut it down for a couple weeks if it is that bad but hopefully they stop carding turf if you know they are not going to allow them to run.
How are the handle numbers for the first couple months Travis? It's a little difficult to compare different meet starting times but average daily handle should comparable.
