Snowing At Keeneland
 

And I'm supposed to believe in global warming?

We'll be lucky to have turf racing in NY by the end of April.

Yeah it was too cold for me to take a trip to Lex. Eff that.

itsa blizzard

I'm surprised they are running the race

Wow! I just put it on.

Keeneland is a TOUGH joint in lousy weather.

and that is being kind...

Ya might have to cut a little slack to any trainer that says his horse could not get a hold of the surface in that race

I've seen it snow during Kee April before, but not this much. In previous year, it's been just big flakes floating in the air, melt when reach the ground. Nothing like this. And just a few days ago, we had the AC on and I was looking for sunscreen.

2nd race tomorrow is on the turf. We'll see if it stays there.

LOL, I highly doubt it.

I give it 1 in 5. Somehow I feel the sprinklers might come on by accident or something overnight...

it's a pretty tough MSW so I probably will pass on the race anyways if it stays on.

why, yes, of course you are! remember back in the '70's, we were headed for the next ice age! they keep working so hard to reverse this global warming, i might have to move further south when they find they've over-corrected, and reverse course again.

it's supposed to be a low of 31 tonite, and about 23 tomorrow night.


all hail al gore.

FAIRBANKS, AK—Researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration received a $42 million federal grant for a captive-glacier breeding project that will attempt to spawn three to five of the massive, slow-moving bodies of land-carving ice by 2020.

"As the number of glaciers worldwide is less than half what it was 40 years ago, it is evident that we must do something to improve glacial fertility or they will face imminent extinction," said NOAA chief glacier behaviorist Ingrid Boorstein at a press conference at the future site of the National Indoor Glacier Preserve in central Alaska. "We've already sent teams of specially trained climbers to collect the Aletsch Glacier in Switzerland, Vatnajökull in Iceland, and the Siachen in the Himalayas to establish mating pairs."

The NOAA has received heavy criticism for its past failed attempts to reintroduce wild glaciers into their former Ice Age habitats in Central Europe and on the plains of the American Midwest

The main track is fast. The turf course has snow on it but should be firm by race time. The rail is down.
