Winter Track Turf Racing

[fouroneone]

Does anyone know when AQU, MOU, and PEN begin racing on the turf?

It looks like the rails are up and the grass is growing at all three.

AQU I think is shooting for either APR 12 or APR 16
MNR always starts on Memorial Day
PEN I think is somewhere near Memorial Day, a couple days before or around it

Philly Park starts its turf season around Memorial Day, too.

Doesn't Penn Nat have lighting problems? It seems their turf races are the first two.

Yeah, Penn National's turf course doesn't have lights. They only run on the turf when the sun is out.
Sad really because, IMO, the Pig Penn has one of the best turf courses in the country.

MNR is the same. Turf is usally in the first 4 races.

When you say "one of the best turf courses", do you mean SAFEST?
Just curious.

Does Philly still have that geese problem with the turf course?
