Tomorrow's "Uninspiring" HOT! card @ toga
 
Guys, I would rank tomorrow's 9 at the Spa as probably the worst in recent memory. The 1st looks like something from the "dead of winter" at the Big A, race 4 is thin with runners that want to win, 5 is a crap shoot and 8 and 9 are our best N.Y. breds. The 7th looks the best. With this heat, I'm prone to lay low and see how the horses react. Kudos to our leader Steve, his "bombers" have been the BEST plays the first week for ANY handicapper!

Well you get two grade 1's on Saturday, with Invasor v Flower Alley in one of them. I think that is the second best day of the meet.

It looks like after tomorrow's heat wave that we will be getting nice temps and conditions for quite a while. I always said the best part of the meet is the 2nd and 3rd weeks. I'm looking forward to it very much.

Sword Dancer day will be awesome too. So will every Sat for that matter.

As for tomorrow, what do you think attendance will be? 12-15K? Might be the lowest in recent history.

I can't see how it couldn't be very very sparse. The feature is a NY bred race, its a Wednesday(noone is gonna take off of work to play hooky for 100 degrees plus and a ny bred feature), and the with no A/C in the place its a slam dunk to spend the day someplace else, watching races of course.

No A/C in the clubhouse?
