Certainly cuts down on our options for a number of races. Many of us are going to have very similar picks.

Don't think that there are weather issues - races are still on the turf. Many of the scratches are non-contenders in the minor stakes races. Could they have been entered just to flesh out the fields and see how tough these smaller stakes were going to be?

For a while, the plan was to keep him at Saratoga and run in the Woodward on closing weekend. Now, it appears that those plans have been discarded and Thunder Snow will be heading back to Newmarket. Not clear what plans they have to get him ready for the BC.
