You seem to think we should have raced on the turf Saturday, and believe me I wish we had been able to, yet after nearly two days of warm weather ( one of which was also very windy ) to dry out the courses, when we finally ran one on the Widener ( which, in case you're interested dries much quicker than the inner ) the time was over 3 seconds slow.

Do you honestly think we want to take races off the turf if for no other reason than it causes a great loss of handle? Sadly, there was little choice.

Now, when you want to disagree with this, please try to stick to the points.
How exactly do you decide when it is time to cancel the turf races?
