I hear with the chance of rain this weekend they are off the turf!

Oh boy..





..there goes another wasted t-shirt run.

naaaaah...she put me on ignore a long time ago...

Boy ...she excells at that. Really good.





Seriously...did a Bill Dallas ever post here?

Not that I recall...but I really don't know for sure

Thanks...it ain't gonna work then.

north?

I'm really hoping for the same thing, but I'm being negative at the moment. It's been raining here for 6 days straight. A big front came through last Friday and Saturday, and looks to be the same one that will hit Jersey this weekend. :(

Boy I hope I'm dead wrong!!!:D

Although the chalk looks dominant in the juvenile F,I think a wet track would most help Irish Smoke.To me,Guilded Time horses like it,and Smoke Glackens as well.I'm no expert on the horse.I don't know the knock on her(distance question maybe,) but seems like has better chance getting 2 turns if it's wet.

Looks like its turning the whole show to a bust and a non betting event for me.

Has this ever happened before in the breeders cup? Anyone?

are you seriously believing this?

So a week of rain and they still run?

they will still run if they had a month of rain. they will probably use the rail much more liberally however

So no amount of rain makes running multi $1,000,000+++ horses risky? I think there's a point when it becomes questionable and a point when its off. These aren't machines that can be replaced and jockey's will have a say if it's safe.

Taking races off the grass is more about protecting the grass than the horses. Euro's run every day on surfaces that our candy-ass jocks and trainers would refuse to use. The horses can handle it.
With a 4 daym meet and no racing til May, there is no reason to "protect the course."

this is correct, its about protecting the course. they'll run these turf races come hell or high water. (rimshot)

This just in!! They're off the turf!!!!!
