Track condition displayed on track video is sloppy/sealed.
Races 1,3,5,7,9 are off turf - and track condition for those races is missing from the xml.
Races 2,4,6,8 are on the dirt - and track condition for those races is listed as muddy in the xml.
I wish this were an isolated occurrence, but that is not the case.
Decided to start posting about bad track condition in the xml publicly again in hopes of seeing some improvement.
Reporting these privately to Equibase over the past several weeks without seeing improvement has me feeling like I am helping them sweep this under the rug.

I wonder if the only solution to this is maintaining one's own database of weather history and up to date weather conditions. I guess you won't have any of the info around how the track is managing the weather such as "sealed".
