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.
