Thanks Herk.....so if it's fast and firm and they are dark tomorrow. why take the 6th off?

I'd rather play a dirt race in the late P4 than a turf sprint, but I can never make consistent sense of the decisions these guys make given the dark day in this case to allow the course to recover a bit. Maybe this will someday be part of the "Stewards Explanations" movement they are advertising this year and they will actually tell the players how they come to these decisions.
