I had considered Gotham but the NE weather has caused so many cancellations lately that I figure better to wait to see what Mother Nature brings

yes the Tampa race also good option if the rain goes away soon
Per EP post - Tampa was really bad today

Thanks for the input

I will be checking weather and fields for Gotham - Tampa - Swale
but pretty sure SA will be main card

My only suggestion would be to not post a venue on a Monday. It can't hurt to wait until the entries come out and at least have a closer look at the weather forecast. I use http://www.equidaily.com/bestbet/weather.html It gives a 10 day forecast for each track and btw Gulfstreams calls for a chance of showers Thursday thru Monday next week.

Good link for track weather - Thanks

I did say I was waiting to check weather and the cards for Gotham, Swale,
And Tampa before deciding

I also know that those 10 day ahead forecasts often change so what we see
Today may be better or worse by Wednesday or Thursday so be assured that I won't be posting on Monday

I live within 30 miles of Aqueduct. If we get a foot and a half of snow by Saturday you better show up with a shovel !

RQ / Swede

Actually was now leaning to doing AQU as main card
with maybe bonus of San Felipe - or Tampa and/or Swale

The future forecast had looked ok for AQU on Saturday
per that weather link -
but I had no knowledge about a foot of snow?

What do you think since you know area / track maintenance
and I don't -- about the odds of track ok for AQU Saturday?
Your input appreciated before we get another Cancellation

Will check the fields before deciding on any bonus race

Right now its starting to snow. Its supposed to change to rain and then change back to snow tomorrow. Only about 5 inches with Friday and Saturday mostly clear and cold. Should race at Aqueduct Saturday but there is going to be a lot of moisture between now and Thursday. Tough call.
