Starting to rain now, we ain't gonna miss the rain like some had predicted or hoped. By the time they run the grade ones its gonna be wet.

No, its not yet. I really wish this thinig would just kick 5 miles west, thats all it would take, saratoga is right on the very edge of the storm. Where Steve lives in Greenwich, they may not even get a drop.

It's so maddening, if you watch the doppler radar you can see that its projected to be right on the edge of Saratoga. Just a little push to the west and it would miss us completely. Its very frustrating because you wanna see Grade One's conducted on a fast surface and really get an idea of who is better than who. I just don't think that off track races(especially conducted on the stupid sealed surfaces that now are the staple on wet track days) prove a whole lot.

The weather will be fine. Stick to picking horses and let the weather people give us the weather.
