What a night, T-Storms were coming in like rolling doubles. Thought the house got hit by lightning at least twice, pretty scary.

I would be amazed if there was a turf race today. I wouldn't be surprised if we had 5 inches of rain between 6pm and 2am.

Please put us out of our misery. What a terrible card of turf races for a Sunday at SAR. Where the **** are all the good turf horses/races? Running at AP (and even MTH), I'd guess.

You really have to think things through sometimes. First of all.......where are all these supposed good horses to fill all these supposed good races? Second of all, with all the rain in the forecast, as well as rain we have already had, it's not that simple to card turf races. You almost have to card them in a manner that keeps them somewhat intact if they come off the grass.

How did things go during your tenure as racing secretary?
