I'm not 'devoid of heart', I don't mind saying it.
To be honest I haven't been following the turf condition closely. In my opinion you go off-the-turf on situations where you may damage the course. It doesn't matter if the course is playing slow, the only thing that matters is if you will damage the course or put horse and rider at risk with dangerous conditions. I haven't been following one way or another.
With Dominguez somebody said 54 mounts. Somebody said 9% winners, and somebody said 50% in the money. No wonder the topic has drifted. Non issue.

It's not only about the damage to the course, if the ground is too soft it can cause more soft tissue injuries in the horse...of course overly hard surfaces are no help either.
