Shouldn't pose a problem. But it might be a good excuse if you pick a loser

Can they switch back to an all weather track in time?

Would it really matter? The only time it was all weather was when it was sunny out.

"The center of Japan’s Thoroughbred breeding industry – home to such American-bred champions as Azeri, Silver Charm, and Charismatic – appears to have escaped the nation’s largest-ever earthquake with relatively little damage, according to an early report in Racing Post."

Terrible! US appears to have escaped damage but Japan really hit hard, hundreds dead and massive damage. 8.9 quake one of largest ever.

That area of the world is by far the most active regarding quakes, the Japanese have strict building codes and many precautions against this sort of thing but nobody can prepare for an 8.9. It will be days before extent of damage is known, the US stands ready to help, hopefully we can assist them in their hour of need.
