Particles in physics are so darn complicated to me...

I was under the impression that neutrinos passing through the solar mantle would encounter far less absorption and re-emission (read as 'none') than photons would, allowing for the apparent delay of detectable light with respect to detection of the neutrinos.
So... because Neutrinos hardly interact with any other matter in the universe, they maintain a constant speed of light? Whereas Photons can't?
