Very sad. Let's not jump to a conclusion about the turf course. These things happen.

Supposedly watering it just makes that turf course slippery and soft if you listen to some people. That's what Garret Gomez was saying in his interview. Called the turf course slippery and soft.

I suppose.

Should have just ignored them and said "go ahead and scratch if you think it's too firm and hard"

Which explains why horses never leave the barn (in the wild) on rainy days.
