Its' weird here. Many, many times storms appear ticketed for Saratoga and they stall or push south and miss us. We looked certain to be washed out at one point Thursday and the band missed us almost completely. It's prudent to try and hold off the decision as long as possible. Horsemen/owners deserve every chance to get their race(s) run as planned. If you make the call and the rains DON'T come, you really shot yourself in the foot...
