Thanks very much. I'm going to spend some time looking at the weather forecasts before declaring a venue for Saturday. While the card at the Spa looks wonderful, 4 of the 5 stakes races are scheduled for the turf and there is a very strong likelihood of lots of rain in upstate New York late Friday and much of the day Saturday. I don't think that any of us want to struggle through another day like last Saturday.
Alli's earlier suggestion is a very good one and I might just follow it, having us pack up and head away from Debbie.

Just read this at DRF:
"SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – With heavy rains from Tropical Storm Debby likely to impact racing at Saratoga on Friday and Saturday, the New York Racing Association plans to card the Grade 1 Fourstardave and Grade 1 Saratoga Derby as contingency races for Sunday’s card. That means, should the weather dictate that turf racing cannot be conducted Saturday, those two races will be run Sunday, as drawn. They would be run as the final two races on the card and be excluded from horizontal wagers such as the late pick five and pick six. On Aug. 3, wet weather forced all races off the turf. NYRA canceled the Saratoga Derby and Grade 2 Troy and rescheduled them for Saturday. Should the Troy be forced off the turf on Saturday, it would be run on the dirt." More and more, I'm hearing the voice of Horace Greeley when he said, "Go West, young man."
