Even though the rain now appears to have stopped, sometime around race 4, it was announced that Race 6 would come off of the turf. Race 9, the Hall of Fame Stakes, remains on the turf at this point.
Four scratches promptly appeared for Race 6, and those who played the Pick 6 early have gotten the dirty end of the deal, since they probably handicapped the race for the turf and it now is on a different surface. If they are paying attention, they can cancel the tickets, but that is not always possible for those who bet and then have to go somewhere.
I just hope that if any races are taken off of the turf tomorrow, they will be taken off before the racing starts so that the players in our contest won't put in picks on one assumption and later find out that things have changed.
