Success to all and thank you to Plenilune for scoring.

Just a comment on weather. The mid Atlantic states are getting a lot of rain today from the outer fringes of Tropical Storm Elsa. We are receiving an impressive amount of rain this morning. While I'm sure that every effort will be made to keep the major stakes races on the turf, there is a possibility that some of the other races may be moved to the main track.

I READ THIS

Rain will end by mid morning today. No rain for tomorrow :)

That's very nice. However, the rain that has fallen already caused flooding of subway stations in New York City yesterday and led to a rainout by the Mets at Citi Field last night. Today's races at Belmont have all been taken off of the turf.

By Saturday the storm will have moved far out to sea, but the turf courses will have absorbed a lot of moisture and unlike a baseball field, you can't put down a tarp. The ground crew at the NYRA tracks do a wonderful job getting the track ready for racing, but they will have their work cut out for them to have the turf courses ready for all of Saturday's races. I'm handicapping all of the races except the Belmont Oaks and the Belmont Derby with the strong possibility that they will not remain on the turf. I hope that I'm proven wrong

And there is still a possibility of more rain today.

Ruffian: we had a discussion about adding MTO's some time ago and decided that MTO's will not be considered. We have the choice of 5 horses to pick in the order we chose. You can add MTO's if you like but only your first 5 horse picks will be scored. Sorry.

DON
I guess I must’ve missed that “discussion” :(

I thought it was OK to add the MTO pix beneath your regular ones

Memories Are Not Always Purrrfect :zz:
