5/30 (EvD): Evangeline Downs Turf Sprint, 4 Undercard Stakes

No luck at all for EvD weather-wise and Brian Lynch has already said Power Alert won't make the trip and will instead go to Belmont. Hopefully it dries out a bit, but no end to the rain in sight.

The turf never recovered from last week. And now we are getting slammed. I would think they would have to switch to main track. No way it could be safe to ride on slick shod..

It's an invitational, so he will be published on the next round, which should take place a week or so before. I'm guessing they knew the intention was to go to EvD and did not invite him right off the bat.

I suppose Wesley Ward is taking Undrafted to Royal Ascot because he's not on the list either.

All races off grass!!

We got hit with another storm. Sheets of rain nonstop for over an hour. The turf course is shot for at least two weeks i would think. I would doubt they run those stakes next weekend unless they decide just to run them on the dirt.
