Crazy little thought/question. Any chance JJ scratches RA due to the extreme heatwave that will be hitting the east coast tomorrow? I personally think that the whole card could have been in jeporady if RA wasn't scheduled to run. But you would think that it's a huge money day for Monmouth and they would cringe just given the thought.
Is this just a crazy talk or could it be a reality?

Supposed to be in the low-100's up and down the East Coast tomorrow. Good question.

We are getting that heat today. It's brutal, no doubt. I'm feeling ill from it.

Oceanport should be a couple degrees less than say Newark though tomorrow, so perhaps that will keep them from calling it.

You can always feel the heat in Newark.

Damn right. Funny story. My car was stolen in Newark right after I graduated from college. I had a 1991 Ford Explorer and the door wouldn't close all the way because I had been rear ended and the frame was bent. The ignition would work with pretty much any key. So I run into an office at Rutgers-Newark campus and when I come out 10 minutes later, no car. Flag down a police officer, I tell him the story and as we are talking it comes over the radio "we got a white Ford Explorer with the door open in the middle of Washington", he says "is that it?" "yup" so I hop in the cruiser and we get the car.

Phily Park has already canceled.
