The good news is that the turf course will be back to fair for the rest of the stand after being a highway for much of the last three weeks.

Just glancing over the sextet it is an extremely difficult sequence on or off the turf.

What are the chances it carries again? 1 IN 3?

Depends on the feature with Mr. Personality. I say the horse throws in a clunker but the way I'm picking them right now he'll probably win by 20.

Surely you jest. Given NYRA's history, plan on ONE race per turf course tomorrow; and selected races off till the end of the week.

With this carryover and no rain since Monday, I have faith in NYRA.

The 6th is the likeliest to come off the turf. Turf sprints have generally been the first to be taken off and that race will have a relatively big field on dirt.

As far as which races are taken off, I understand taking the sprints off first because those put far more pressure on the course than routes. Hopefully they'll be on because it's a nice sequence that is VERY challenging.
