At Del Mar, I think if they put just a tiny bit of water on the track in the afternoon that it would make a huge difference. It would tighten the track up and speed it up a little up. One of the major complaints is that the track at Del Mar is different in the mornings from the afternoons. In the morning, the temperature is much cooler and there is much more moisture in the air. The track is much tighter under those conditions. In the afternoon when it is much hotter outside, the track loosens up and gets very slow. I think just slightly watering the track in the afternoon would help quite a bit.
