I think the reason you have not been getting a lot of straightforward responses to this question is the fact that it is somewhat diifficult to discuss how wet weather will affect 124 different horses competing in 11 different races in any sort of meaningful way in one thread.
My suggestion would be that it will affect the horses the same way it does on the other 364 days of the year, so whatever strategies you have used in the past for a wet course would probably be appropriate. Other than that, I would suggest looking at each individual race (and perhaps the threads devoted to those races) to see how an off-track or soft turf will affect each individual race, rather than the BC as a whole.
