What Tracks Don't Have Turf Courses

[Turbulator]

Does anyone have a list of tracks that don't have turf courses?

Inner turf, outer turf, on the turf, off the turf, first time turf...polytrack...enough. All the races but one at Belmont today were on the turf. Most off Colonial's races were on the turf today. Three at CRC were on the turf; I lost them all.

Ironically, I had the winner in the contest, (11f turf) but went with a price horse because I'm too far behind to get in the running with a 2 to 1 shot.

I don't do well on turf races, because I don't like them...those and two-year-old races. I don't like them because they confuse me, and I have trouble figuring out what's what. Two year old races have always messed with me head. I've never really looked at polytrack races, so I'm not going to bother with those either--for now.

So, I'm just going to concentrate on dirt races. I'm sure there must be quite a few tracks with a class factor of four and up that only have dirt tracks. By class factor I'm going by this chart. I don't care for real cheap tracks either.

I know EMD is one. I think Delaware Park might be another. But that's about it. I'm searching, but can't find much.

Thanks

Steve,

Here's a link to the DRF 3 year best times, Dirt times on the left, Turf times on the right. Any tracks with omitted Turf times - don't run turf.

Hope it helps,

Thanks, Ted that helps me out.

It turns out there are 45 tracks without a turf course. Three weren't listed. Thirteen of those have a class rank of 4 or higher. Of the 13 two are fair meets and one (Fairplex) is a bull ring.
