The local TV stations are saying it may hold off until late afternoon into the evening. Maybe we will get lucky and have some grass racing.

Pouring here in Albany right now, looks from the radar like Saratoga may be getting spared the worst.

If this is it though we'll be fine for tomorrow, but any extra moisture today will just make the turf unusable a lot quicker tomorrow whenever it does start to rain.

It is unfortunate when a track turns into a quagmire due to the rain. Hope the weather is decent.

This is a look back at the horrific track conditions at last year's BC. In case anyone forgot.
