What owners/trainers are going to run on this course next weekend in ARL Million and Bev D?
TDN
With continued challenges facing Churchill Downs' newly installed turf course, which has included the cancelling of a number of grass events, the Louisville track has announced the hiatus of both the $300,000 GII Secretariat S. and the $200,000 GIII Pucker Up S. Both were scheduled for Arlington Million Day next Saturday, Aug. 13, which is to be held at Churchill for the first time after the closing of Chicago's Arlington Park last year.
Churchill is moving forward with plans to host the GI Arlington Million and the GI Beverly D. S. on the lawn. The former will be run from lane one, with the latter scheduled to run from lane three. The Beverly D. is a Breeders' Cup “Win and You're In” event for the Filly & Mare Turf division.

What's wrong with Kentucky Blue Grass?  Bermuda hybrid mixture?  Invasive species.

Another year another problem for the turf course. But they are going to spend $90 million on the grandstand and pavillion before the next Derby. The turf course at Churchill Downs, despite being renovated to the tune of $10 million ahead of the Spring 2022 meet, is still not meeting expectations. According to an email sent to horsemen this week by Cathy Shircliff, CDI's director of equine industry relations, Churchill will not race on the turf course during the upcoming September meet. Significant maintenance was performed on the turf course, Shircliff wrote, including scalping, aerating, the addition of 1,000 bushels of Bermuda grass, and fertilization. paulickreport.com/news/the-biz/off-the-turf-churchill-downs-wont-host-grass-racing-in-september |
