Title: why do so many horses warm up on the grass at Scioto Downs?
Post by: arniesarmy on May 14, 2026, 10:56:02 PM: You see that every now and then at other tracks but every race at Scioto there is at least one horse in the infield grass.

Scioto has always been a very [hard] fast track!

Easier on the feet??
