i would think that's the point of entering MTO--they don't come off unless the turf is too wet, so that would mean a muddy main track.

In California, they will sometimes take a race off the turf, but the main track has been sealed and is listed as 'wet fast'. If the rains continues, it becomes 'muddy'.

Churchill's main track is listed as 'muddy'. I was interested to see what Chuck would have done with Sumwon.

I probably would have run
