We will know in 15 mins. But I would rather run on the dirt in this spot because of the date preference next time. If we were to win it would not matter though.

I doubt it. They are going to want to keep the turf in the best condition for the Stake race. Since KNS is before the Stake, I give it zero chance to stay on.

It looks like the rain will move through fairly quickly and I am guessing she may get a "good" track. Tampa has a lot of sand, drains well and dries out quickly.

The races are still on the turf though it continues to rain

The best horse in the race and the three worst. The 14 looks more dangerous than any of the 5, 12, or 13 would have been. Getting Paris Winds out of there sure swings the door wide open though.

right now, wishing we had never moved from fla.

even better.

How's is Tampa with pulling races off the turf the last minute? as bad as other tracks?

Go get em KNS, best of luck to all those in Tampa. I'll be watching from Oaklawn today.

Gotta be better weather there than here in the Mohawk Valley :D

Alas, I might have to agree. ;) :D

Might make the 50's here today, after the races I'll start the 1285 mile drive home.

Sorry to hear the news about "The Voice", Finger Lakes won't be the same.:(

I see Paris Winds was announced as a vet scratch on the Equibase changes and not a trainer scratch.

Sloppy and Off

Probably "sick"

;)
