Talk about an omen for Electric Sky.

Should be an interesting race if it comes off the turf. I think it increases our win chances and if nothing else we learn how she handles an off track. Plus that get out of jail free card will be useful.

Mott has scratched and it is raining heavily right now. I believe there are additional scratches also

Could we still wind up on the turf?

We will know in 15 mins. But I would rather run on the dirt in this spot because of the date preference next time. If we were to win it would not matter though.

I doubt it. They are going to want to keep the turf in the best condition for the Stake race. Since KNS is before the Stake, I give it zero chance to stay on.

It looks like the rain will move through fairly quickly and I am guessing she may get a "good" track. Tampa has a lot of sand, drains well and dries out quickly.

How's is Tampa with pulling races off the turf the last minute? as bad as other tracks?

The best horse in the race and the three worst. The 14 looks more dangerous than any of the 5, 12, or 13 would have been. Getting Paris Winds out of there sure swings the door wide open though.

right now, wishing we had never moved from fla.
