Now the 'challenge' has gone I'll give my opinion as far as I see it anyway.

When tracks become slow or heavy, there is not only '1 variable' that changes. There are heaps. If you talked to any track manager about what happens to his track when it gets excess water, He won't stop talking for an hour while he describes every inch of it and the variables involved around the track surface that can affect the outcome of a race. On top of that all tracks respond differently to excess water as will the runners on any particular wet day and depending on the track their racing on. A win in the heavy at Eagle Farm doesn't translate to being a good thing at Ipswich in the heavy. All tracks are different when slow or heavy.
