The bigeest problem with making figures on very wet tracks is that there's a tendency for the margins between horses to be larger than average. That leaves you in a bind. You can either give the horses that finished up front (often just the winner) their usual figure and get stuck giving terrible figures to everyone else or you can give the winner a huge figure in order to give at least some of the rest of the field a figure that makes some sense. When it gets very bad and the margins are more than 2x average, IMO all the figures are gibberish.
