When the Callers Arrived, those scratch reasons were changed to "Trainer." This was finalized at 10:28, more an one hour before first post.
At no time did the information for the race display "Turf Changed to Dirt" for races 4 and 14 as it did for the races which had been officially moved from Turf to Dirt.

Surely you can understand the confusion people would have when scratches said "Off-Turf" originally.
