Racetracks often divert from the condition book when weather dictates. And even moving races to the dirt in advance (as they did opening day) is possible.
I get there are situations where the totally unforeseen event requires a move- there was a famous one where the last race on Christmas Eve at Hollywood Park was moved in the 1980's because of holes in the turf course- but this was entirely predictable.
