Too much watering causes tracks too many problems

After the jockeys put an end to racing at Haydock on Friday evening, the question has to be asked, when will the tracks cease to overwater?

What is wrong with fast ground? We all err, but to keep on making the same mistakes by premeditation is ­inexcusable.

I know it is a thing of history, but watering before rainfall means there is a major accident waiting to happen and the problem is even weather ­forecasters are fallible. No forecast can be trusted. This senseless obsession of wanting moisture in the ground is not only a continuous problem, but dangerous. Surely if in doubt then to do nothing is the better option.
