Default Venue for May 13 . . . almost a no brainer

And that describes me most of the time

Well, unless there is an objection, we'll have to go into Pimlico cold . . . but does it really matter?! Best card is at Belmont:


Beaugay S (G3) $150k 4&up f/m 8.5f Turf

Man o' War (G1) $400k 4&up 11f Turf

Peter Pan S (G3) $200k 3yo 9f Dirt

Ruffian H (G2) $250k 4&up f/m 8f Dirt

Some very nice stakes races!!!

Can you tell us any more about the source of these "rumors".

The forecast for Saturday in the New York metropolitan area includes lots of rain and some wind - but does that translate into a cancellation on a major stakes day? NYRA has run racing cards in the snows of February - are they likely to cancel due to heavy rain in May?

It's supposed to be very, very wet and windy in NY. Yes, even possible snow but up in the Adirondack mountains.

It's difficult to imagine them cancelling, but stranger things have happened. Motion has said he will scratch Miss Temple City if it is bad so I have to think there will be a lot of scratches in many of the races. Maybe the turf races would be switched to the mud track. What a bummer.
