The scratch reason of "Trainer" for race 9 was correct as trainers had scratched due to the condition of the course at that time. The track later said they decided to keep the Gallorette on the grass and not the Dixie because they had already had trainers scratch due to course condition in the Dixie but did not have the same issue (except for Cambodia at the time) in the Gallorrette.
There was no mistake made on Friday regarding the races 4 and 14 being moved to the dirt that were not. Those races did not display "turf moved to dirt" as other races did.
The scratch reasons displayed for races 4 and 10 were "Off-turf" from 9:46 until 10:28. Tracks have the ability to enter scratches, along with scratch reasons, before the Chart Callers arrive and this is what occurred. When the Chart Callers arrived the scratch reasons were changed to "Trainer."
