The biggest thing I have found is with the very low humidity and wind. The track will dry out faster than they can put water to it. This will tend to make it cuppy and the speed tends to back up to the field more.
Watch the first couple races, but I tend to downgrade the speed slightly on these days.
Also, I would think they will be back on the turf today with the sun, wind and dry air.

Thanks for the info Mike.
Since you have your weatherman hat on I need some advice.
In upstate NY. Need to get back to Northern Viriginia. Heard a bad storm is coming up the coast. Can you pass along the conditions and any other thoughts?
