Thing is, Zayat is correct. Just look at Turfway, Collins told them not to water it, but after gobs and gobs of carpet flying in the air and into horses' throats, Turfway brought out the water trucks.
The wrinkle here that I don't get is Collins' refusal to accept that it needs water. At Turfway, I understood his position, since he and Keeneland were selling the stuff as "low maintenance". Paying the water truck drivers wasn't gonna drive down the cost of maintenance. In this case however, it doesn't matter. Poly is statutorily mandated, pour the water to it.
