Multi Musselburgh has a poly bend and grass straights, and they race on Jumps and the flat over it, seems to work fine

......the poly has a very porous layered structure to allow water to pass though it with ease....if no or not deep enough retention wall or dam was built between the two tracks.....the water on the turf will always move towards the poly for ....a) negative pressure b) move towards the ocean due to gradient and tidal water table....so in dry conditions the more you water the turf the more water escapes to under the poly... :dry:
