I'm telling you, when you run in the slop you are very lucky if you come out of the race in one piece.

The voice of reason.
A well constructed synthetic track like Keeneland can handle rain and eliminate the slop factor. They proved it last meet. The week of the BC at Monmouth, Keeneland was deluged for two days and the track was as good as if it had never rained.
