The media have a way of creating doubt about certain things. I have never seen them water the track before, but that doesn't mean it has never happened.

I think it is their responsibilty to create a fair track for all. With the hot weather in Melbourne that day they needed to put a bit of give into it. Who would want to run their horse on a hard track over 3200m.

I don't really know either way, all I have to go by is the media coverage, so I choose not to make a decision.
