Why is it significant that the races were slower then they should be? That isn't the point the point is if the course was exposed to long term harm or was unsafe for horses and jocks.. The speed of the course is not significant.. When its super fast do we say OMG lets take the races off the turf because its a speed way and the mile and a 1/16th time is 1.36?
