Default Sunday Arlington

If you are planning on playing AP today and aren't in the area, we are in the middle of a major storm and I would say its extremely unlikely any races would stay on the grass. So far, AP hasn't had a problem with their drainage since they put the new surface in but this is probably the hardest rain they've had. We'll see.

If they stay on the grass it will be a bigger upset than Da Tara winning yesterday.

Was on the 2nd hole when the rain happened. I got talked into playing as according to my friend, who thinks he is a weather man, said it wasn't going to rain until 3pm....Very smart individual when it started pouring

rain polytrack - speed holds tons better than on dry poly. Very rarely will you find a winner that is not on the lead or stalking a couple lengths behind the lead.
Dry poly - exact opposite

too many 1 1/16 races today. Just don't like that short finish. All three off turf went to that distance plus 2 or 3 originally carded.
