Racing on "wet" tracks is part of the game, and has been for as long as there has been racing on dirt. Except for dire circumstances, NYRA should let the horseplayer decide with their wallets if they wish to deal with the idiosyncricies that come along with playing wet tracks, not the other way around. There are plenty of other choices out there on a normal day.

I don't have a problem with having the track in top shape for such a big day of racing. I really don't understand why losing a day is a big deal for anyone.
