Am I missing something..is the turf in bad shape because of the lack of rain or are they having trouble filling grass events...something is weird about this. Anyone got any info?

They're not having trouble filling much thus far. This is the time of year where the turf used to get very chewed up in the past and those were in significantly rainier winters. It's been very dry this year and the course is starting to show some wear. They really need some rain before the Fla Derby to get it in ship shape.
Don't fear though, the flight to the north is forthcoming.
