It's absolutely incredible that the track super is saying it's soft when a respected rider is coming off of it pointing to concrete and saying they might as well be racing on that and comparing it to the Bonneville Salt Flats. I mean, 6.5f in 1:13.69 for second level allowance horses doesn't come on a soft track. These horses are running 7f faster than it took them to run 6f at Del Mar.
