There is quite a variation in wet tracks, and over the past months there have been some rated as "Heavy 10", and some of these have, during the course of the day, been abandoned, probably because the track has been little better than a quagmire, so this would be a good reason for not betting.

For the small punter like myself, trying to formulate the perfect system without too much effort, and using old papers for the form guide, this is the one aspect which is often neglected, so find it OK to bet despite the conditions, except for Heavy 8 to 10.
