Gulstream Park Racing Cancelled . . . No card for today and

[DonGuido]

Unless there is an objection, next weeks venue still remains with CT or I'll be happy to pick it and if I do, it won't be Gulfstream.

Sorry folks but this happens . . . rarely, but it happens.

That's why we pay you those big bucks, Don - to make the tough calls like this one.

The track condition took me back to those days long ago when we would talk about watching the submarine races.

Yep . . . that and 5 bucks might get me a fancy coffee at Starbucks.

I'm strongly considering Santa Anita for next week
Maybe a bonus of The Swale?

SA has a nice Stakes card next Saturday
Plus very small chance of Snow!

But Earthquake still a possibility

Will post final choice when SA / GP Cards are up

CT, if you are considering adding a bonus race to next week's contest, perhaps you could give some thought to either the Gotham from Aqueduct and/or the Tampa Bay Derby. Both are 50 point qualifying races on the road to the Derby, and a simo might dovetail nicely into the San Felipe on the Santa Anita card, also a 50 pointer.

Just a thought.

I had considered Gotham but the NE weather has caused so many cancellations lately that I figure better to wait to see what Mother Nature brings

yes the Tampa race also good option if the rain goes away soon
Per EP post - Tampa was really bad today

Thanks for the input

I will be checking weather and fields for Gotham - Tampa - Swale
but pretty sure SA will be main card

Santa Anita has a super card including the SA Handicap. I think adding the Tampa Bay Derby would be great, more interesting than the Gotham.

If Miami looks like Tampa, I definitely don't blame them for cancelling.

Thank God! I was doing horrible!!

I had a winner and 2/3 of a tri in 3 races. I pretty much had picked the ones with built in scuba gear.
I saw this coming on the local news last night. It's calmed down up here in Tampa, but that is the same system in Miami.
They actually evacuated the backstretch at GP.

Funny I looked on the weather for Miami on my "trusty" phone weather app and it said nothing about rain . . . go figure
