I like the idea and imagine that like others have noted, should keep some of the turf fields together if they have to come off the main.
Concerns, at least as i see it, is maintaining the surface with horses going back and forth from the main to the tapeta and over to the turf course for those races.
Other would be what this does to the condition book itself. Most tracks try not to run too cheap on the turf, and outside of usage/wear and tear on the turf, what it does to the dirt races.
You can see across the country how much smaller the dirt fields are, so does this now make them even smaller with the tapeta option. Sure, you can still maintain a higher bottom for the tapeta to match the turf and hope to maintain the dirt field sizes, but curious to see when the first book comes out.
Anytime you create more conditions and now three different surfaces, you are fracturing the horse population further and where they can run.
