8/22-Saratoga Weather/Turf: All races come off turf..
 

FYI..

Rained overnight and steadily this a.m. with more anticipated. 5th, 8th, 9th, 10th off the turf and Lake Placid moves from Inner to Mellon Turf...

Going to be a messy day here...

Good luck. Positive is that once this weather clears out, Travers Week and Day look super.

Here's a suggestion for NYRA. If the rain doesn't persist, don't take ANY scheduled turf races off tomorrow. This way, maybe, we might end up with fair courses the rest of the meet. Babying the turf is like not digging up your yard regularly -- you're left wondering why it's become so hard when it comes time to plant.

UPDATE:Lake Placid now off turf as well..

Update:The Fat Man is still a few bricks shy.

Hope you're enjoying all those FAIR turf races up there. I'm sure even you have probably had your FILL of sprinters stretching out and winning. Nothing like a horse that's never gone the distance controlling a race full of others that have. Now, that makes SENSE. :rolleyes:

Of course, as always, I need to DEFER to you, in all matters related to races/tracks. 'Cause, YOU are in the KNOW. :rolleyes:

Taking the stake off the turf, as hard and dry as those courses have been, is just a ****IN JOKE.

great call and line andy can't stop laughing :D:D

Off the turf on Monday
