Maintenance crew must be dumb as dirt (639 Views)

I just finished reading the DRF column on the problems with the Hollywood surface. The article makes it appear that the track maintenance crew is overwatering and over harrowing a track designed to work best with very little maintenance and no or little watering. Who puts a track in & doesn't properly maintain it? Only in California?

What they're doing sounds like someone who puts an astroturf of field turf football field in & then sends someone out with a lawnmower.
