question for anyone live in person at the Spa today
 

How hard and how long did it rain? And what effect did this have on the 11th race, when the 2 longest shots on the board ran 1-2 (and I, and I'm sure many others on this board were knocked out of the pick 6)?

It rained pretty hard but not for long. I cannot imagine, unless either had tremendous mud pedigree (don't have the pp's in front of me) that it would have that much effect on the outcome.

I was there and they sealed the track in the 11th race. It was not that wet at all. After the races a huge thunderstorm hit and knocked the power out at the track! My husband was live for the pick 6, once they sealed the track it screwed his ticket up, got 5 fot 6!

The 11th was a pretty strange race (1 of a handful, yesterday).. I had two horses live in that leg, the entry and Vicarian... the entry battled each other near the front end, Vicarian never lifted a hoof.. and the longest shot on the board closed from last to win going away..very dissapointing:(

This is the kind of suffering and pain I am talkin about. What happened to my Saratoga thread, about the unrealistic aspects of the joint ? I can feel your pain fans :D

I had that triple for $4460
