Not too many people work harder to run a racetrack than Jim Naylor, and he's gotten mid-show grooming down to an art form, getting out during intermission and running the grader himself. The problem is, the track is literally a stone's throw from the Pacific Ocean and the water table is probably above the level of the track surface after a heavy deluge, especially at high tide; this is something that tracks in the middle of the continent never have to deal with. I don't think a sheep's foot would really have helped all that much. Props to Jimmy for doing what he had to do to get the show in, even laying tarps down to try to save the racing surface. I don't think I've ever seen that before...
