Tell me I'm reading this wrong. They admit to having problems with the new style tracks at Woodbine and Turfway. They say they did Keeneland in the old style way and that it's the best track in the world. They say they are doing Arlington in the old style way. Why in the world are they doing Del Mar in the new style?

I think because you really dont have to worry about it getting below freezing in San Diego .
