A soggy turf course is a recipe for breakdowns the day you race over it as horses tire unexpectedly, and even more so the NEXT day when the divots and hoof holes firm up and horses step in them and break legs..

I agree 100%. It isn't their fault the weather sucks. Their turf course is narrow, so moving the rails out isn't much of an option, either.
The Woodlawn is actually MORE interesting now, as Hatta Fort was pretty much a layup...
