Its' weird here. Many, many times storms appear ticketed for Saratoga and they stall or push south and miss us. We looked certain to be washed out at one point Thursday and the band missed us almost completely. It's prudent to try and hold off the decision as long as possible. Horsemen/owners deserve every chance to get their race(s) run as planned. If you make the call and the rains DON'T come, you really shot yourself in the foot...

FYI.. Durkin just announced the salient point that only 8 two year olds can run at a time and currently 9 are still entered for the upcoming 5th. MTO #14 Endless Chatter is essentially an AE right now unless someone else comes out in the next little while...

Pretty shitty that the 4 scratched after the P4 started ad the 14 didn't draw in.

Strange situation. Grening says that off turf 2yo maiden races are allowed to run 10 so it may have been Chad Brown's call unless that info was misconveyed. And Durkin's announcement apparently was wrong.
