No, obviously the moral of this thread is that many of us appreciated a meet where the intention was solid grass racing that offered big fields and big value.
Perhaps this kind of meet could be lengthened if they only raced a couple of days each week to preserve the racing surface.
The model should be Hong Kong where they race 2 days a week at 2 different tracks 10 months of the year with 95% of their 800 some odd races being on the turf. Their grass surfaces are always in top notch condition. Even with heavy rains the drainage is excellent. And they never take races off the turf.
