The sealing of the track seems to be a big issue this year at the Spa...I really don't know about the conditions at the Big A and Belmont trackwise but as an employer who is about an hour west of Saratoga and must keep track of the the weather conditions for his crew, thunderstorms were rolling thru the Mohawk Valley and the foothills of the Adirondacks daily...many just missing the Saratoga area. I kept a weather watch a few times for friends as well who were at the track just to let them know if any rain was on the way...Maybe Passero did get a little carried away sealing the track like he did but there was a threat of severe storms and downpours quite a few of the days this summer. They might not of hit the Spa but you didn't have to travel far to see where they did hit.
