How to evaluate track conditions for horses
Analyzing the track surface involves understanding how different surfaces can affect a horse’s performances. The weather can make dirt tracks go from being fast, firm and dry to sloppy. Turf courses also have a wide range of variability. Synthetic tracks tend to be more consistent but can also be affected by temperature.
