Small Mac tells me that with Oaklawn’s proximity to the national park they can’t put anything on the track to thaw it. Most of the northern tracks will use liquid calcium or calcium chloride to keep the track from freezing. Oaklawn can’t do that.

I would think might cause some folks to alter course and change schedule. The Southwest is only worth 10 to the winner and running in it would mean very few would wheel back into the Rebel (worth 50 points) in just two weeks. Of course it is worth $750,000 and at 1 1/16 so I am sure some will run. I could see a few waiting for the Rebel and the $1 million at the same distance, just means a bit tighter prep schedule as would only allow for 2 races for sure prior to the Derby.
