I think there is an edge when racing comes off the turf. I used to like those days, but when it becomes an everyday occurrence it is a bit much.You can't blame anyone for the weather, but it is time consuming handicapping for turf, wet turf and then off the turf for a card. Sometimes it is just better to wait for tomorrow.
