Who moves up on a wet track?

Good question. Lots of mud breeding in this bunch, though a couple of the horses that may have benefitted most (Governor Charlie, Code West) are now out. Don't think a sloppy track would hurt Orb, Verrazano or Java's War, but the horse that might move up based on experience would be Vyjack, as he has a nice sharp win in the slop.

Fast or sloppy, ya got a chance. If the track turns up that god-awful sticky drying out smack that Mine That Bird frollicked on, then you might as well pull a number from a hat...

Chance of rain Sat now 80%, steady rain later in the with up to an inch total, cooler too.

Sloppy track, methinks.
