Colonial Downs Turf Burn
https://wydaily.com/news/alerts/2024...ed-for-monday/

Interesting, never heard of this practice before.
Supposed to nurture the course by burning off 'dead cover', and the grass grows back quickly.

They do have a fantastic course
Season opens July 11th

Maybe this is what Churchill needs to do to see if that will help them with their turf course?
