Prior to the poly-track, KEE races are almost never taken off-the-turf.

The field may have been a little different but trainers seem more worried about the timing rather than the surface.
I believe Street Sense may have scratched on a sloppy track. Obviously just a hunch.
Saturday they would have taken them off no matter what. Dont forget that Pat Day had all the power in the jocks room in KY for 20 years and he was never one to complain about track condition. If Pat was ok with the track then everybody just fell in line. I'm not so sure that the current colony would be so forgiving.
