why do so many horses warm up on the grass at Scioto Downs?

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??

Widger seems to do it a lot. Of course, he ran a 1-9 shot out of the money, so there's that.

 Alot of horses love going on the grass prior to racing, it seems to help their feet & if they enjoy it & race well after- I'd do it every time.
