I forget Arlington's situation; it may have had a bad stretch before it made a change.
I can't recall if Keeneland had breakdowns, but the original dirt track was probably the most inside speed biased track in the country, to the point of absurdity. It played like a half mile harness track. I think that probably had something to do with the changeover.
