Its a blessing in disguise and the move turned out to be a smart one. It rained off and on (quite heavily) all afternoon. The turf course has to be a mess and with the rather cool temps here now, I dont see it getting any better for tomorrow's race. The Sword Dancer would have been run on a bog.
They should take off all of tomorrow's turf races if they havent already.
But wait, I hear the dirt course is actually in worse shape than the turf!
Maybe they'll cancel the entire card tomorrow and let things get back to normal in time for Sunday. Its not like there are any good races tomorrow anyways.
Next Saturday, hopefully the weather will cooperate and we'll have 2 Grade
1's on Saturday. Take tomorrow off. Spend time with the family, go to a movie or get outside for some fresh air. The meet begins next weekend.
