Freakin' Mexicans.

We should pull that warm air over and ask for its papers.

The stakes races will stay on the turf but you may see some scratches if some trainers are not comfortable with the turf course.

You may also see some scratches on the main track if it comes up sloppy (especially in the non-Grade 1 races). Zenyatta scratched last year for much less moisture than we will see Saturday.

Only if NYRA is in charge. It's all about keeping the grass perfect, after all.

I think concern for horses snapping legs stepping in holes, (formed when courses used under yielding or soft conditions dry up), takes precedent over 'keeping the grass nice'.
