Shiek Mo will have to build a massive covered track before next year.

The rain of today wasn't that bad (by American standards), and overall, not terrible for the track. This is a very sandy, deep surface, so it holds well and they ran over a sloppy main track back in December and the results were fair and varied.
The track today was good, even after two different storms, one Wednesday evening, another Thursday morning (lasting about an hour). I had lunch with an Australian turf writer who walked dirt course out and turf course back through the homestretch around 11:30 AM, after the main rains, and he confirmed both were fine. The chances of cancelling - near nil in my book. No holding back - rip up the turf course all they want. The benefit is, the dirt can remain sealed for 23 hours a day until the races - unlike say, Monmouth running for three days in a mess before the BC. Barring a monsoon...should be ok.
