Terrible angle usually, but my wife loves Lime Rickey. This will generally regulate a horse to 3rd or 4th.

So it looks like the forecast is saying rain for tomorrow...so I'm going to assume Belmont is going to be off the turf. How's that change everyone's thinking?

Mani Bhavan outclasses every horse in the Alyssum but she hasn't done much lately. And how will she do on a wet track?

I wonder what the chance of them keeping the two stakes on the turf is. . . totally kills the card if they have to take them off.

Supposed to rain all day with the heaviest rain coming in the early afternoon. If they do stay on, I'd be skittish about betting anything considering the shape the course will be in.

As you mention, it's going to rain all day, and the heaviest rain, according to weather.com will be from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. So I really can't see them keeping the races on the turf.

As hockey mentions, the card is pretty much ruined if the two races are taken off the turf, but it may be a necessity.

that was really unfortunate for her that they asked her to run 8.5 in decent company over that polytrack. She generally breaks alertly with gate quickness which should help her over a sealed track.

Reforestation is decent option with outside speed. Hollendorfer's filly is interesting longshot, works not impressive on paper.
