what a shame. the weathers fine at del mar. maybe they should have built that "prestigious" track somewhere where they could run without canceling or modifying half the races due to inclement weather.

They didn't cancel any races, they moved three to the main track and for one they shifted from the main to the inner turf course to save wear and tear on the turf courses. Unfortunately other tracks don't have that luxury. Even if they did "cancel" the three off-the-turf races today, they'd still have only one fewer races as they're going to run at Del Mar. Including today's 10 race card, there have been only TEN races taken off the turf out of 238 races total (not all were carded for turf, however) And the weather in Saratoga today will be just as fine as it is at Del Mar. |

Race 6 is my SPOT PLAY of the day.
BALANCE THE BOOKS. That was my Kentucky Derby pick for this year but that didn't quite pan out.

Thanks. The price won't be great but a winner is a winner. That race is still on the (now inner) turf 1/16 mile shorter.

I just saw that Delaware Park cancelled today to repair the track - they say they got FOUR inches of rain in just an hour. There was hardly a mention of that on the news last night. |

He opened at 9-5, went down to 8-5 for a bit, then I had to go out. I was shocked that he went back UP from there. 2-1 in a six horse field is great. |
