They're talking possible record setting temps today. It's already 87 at 10AM. Going up to the high 90's. Feh!

If that's the case then Calder should cancel July (Summit of Speed) through September.

Here too... it was 103 all last week. But obviously when you're not used to it, it causes problems. Not that anyone is ever really "used to" 100+ temps though.

It was 97 in Chicago yesterday.
Today it is 57.

I may move to San Diego.

Those horses are adapted to that type of weather though.

When heat like that hits Arlington or NY, it kills them, we had a couple that were off their feed yesterday and the day before, and magically they ate everything in site + today.

I sincerely hope that NBC/Versus gives the Manhattan decent coverage. Go Gio!

Does anyone else find it amazing that Maylan Studart has mounts in two of the six graded stakes races?

It's also safe to say that Chatterpaul is being a bit unrealistic in the placement of both of her mounts, too.
