Mudders

There's no track anywhere that takes moisture like Churchill. The weather here is as volatile and fast moving as anywhere you'll ever see, so stop worrying about mud until there's a clearer picture of what you'll be dealing with. Unless you get a downpour in proximity to post, that track invariably comes up shockingly good.

This morning's outlook has improved considerably. Heaviest rain now expected Thursday into Friday with patchy rain, possible thunderstorms at times Oaks Day. What ever rain comes Derby Day is now expected between 10a-2p. If that forecast is close, you'll have a fast track by 6:30p.

When Mine That Bird won, it barely rained that morning and none after noon but it was still rated sloppy. I remember showing up that morning thinking it would change, but it did not. There was a lot of rain that week and Rachel won in the slop on Friday.

I love to play the Birdstone runners in the mud,they really move up on the wet stuff.
Of course I wasn't smart enough to even consider MTB.

I'd say that's a good go to mud line:
Balada skated by 7 today @ GP in the 4th..........$43.20.
In the 8th @ CD Benner Island was bet down from 10-1 to 3-1........she was really game,$8.80.

You mean Birdsong runners, but I'm with you there as I had Birdstone that Derby Day tossing MTB.

But I always consider Birdsong progeny in the mud, which included Birdstone in 2004.
