Crash, all I can relate is that when I started punting & really had no clue as to what I was doing, the state of the track was never a consideration. It became so later on & I still recall the 1st time I lost confidence in a selection solely because of a slow track, didn’t back it & of course it won @ around 20's

I've backed plenty that obviously cant handle the going & I know I've done my bet after 400m, but I could say the same about plenty of others I’ve backed on good tracks that have missed the start, been checked, caught wide etc etc

anyway enough rambling, my point is that for all the bad bets I’ve made on wet tracks, their ratio seems no different to the bad bets I’ve made when its dry. The reasons for the poor runs may be different from wet to dry, but does that really matter? I dont think so
