Of course we recall that one record after another fell at the Spa last meet. And how many horses were injured there? Majestic Warrior has never been the same, Mymayonniase has dropped from sight, etc. The Spa super hard track conditions were vehemently criticised last August.
Reflecting back to last fall when a huge deluge covered the mideast for the week of the BC. Keeneland was super impressive with their drainage and the track played much the same throughout their 17 day meet, regardless of rain. Now compare that with Monmouth or any dirt track under those conditions.
