Rain overnight in Saratoga Springs??
Still too early for updates about turf races from NYRA. Any predictions about which races will be on/off. Montgomery County Maryland continues it's Rod Serling weather patterns yesterday as for the first time in my lifetime the Emergency Broadcast System was activated with a tornado sighting that ripped through the area knocking out power overnight in the majority of the county per PEPCO. This little 10 square mile area has seen in 2010: 1) 9 feet of snow in 11 days this winter. An event beyond bizzare. 2) The largest east coast earthquake in 100 years last week with the epicenter a mile away 3) An activation of the EBS for a tornado that left the county in the stone age for power overnight having dropped 2 inches of rain in 20 minutes that would have made Helen Hunt and her flying cow proud!! What could possibly be left?

I'd rather play a dirt race in the late P4 than a turf sprint, but I can never make consistent sense of the decisions these guys make given the dark day in this case to allow the course to recover a bit. Maybe this will someday be part of the "Stewards Explanations" movement they are advertising this year and they will actually tell the players how they come to these decisions.

Byk at Saratoga is better than Christmas. I had the 7th race tri thanks to Mr. Byk. Thank you 243 times. You are incredible. I am going to start a Saratoga fund today so that next year I can make a road trip to thank you in person and sample your BBQ.

Too, too kind. Thanks a lot... Had a good handle on that race and am pleased you hit. And you absolutely need to get to Saratoga. Some will scoff at this, but it's getting better and better in a lot of ways... Hope you get the chance to visit next year or as soon as you can!
