Arlington and Turfway are the only North American tracks that still have polytrack, Woodbine and Presque Isle are both Tapeta.

Turfway is obviously a real track, where real horses and jockeys are running in real races with real money being bet on them. Is it first tier, no, but it is certainly real. And if not having a turf course makes your track not "real," does that mean Oaklawn isn't real? Pretty interesting that a triple crown winner would run two races at a non-"real" track.

BTW Hawthorne has a turf course so are they real or not? It's very confusing.
