Shanny,

If your strolling in Central Park this AM just ask one of the local wine connoisseurs who have been under a picnic table all night if they will dry out by post time?

That should give you a good barometer of the track condition!!! LOL, good luck my friend on a ugly wagering day.

Hey Frank

Have to handicap for sloppy/soft in the late races, no?

Good luck man

Have too many reasons to make the trek out NOT to go, so we\'re going.  The schmoozing will be good ... anything else will be a bonus.  GL.

Richie,

Not much capping or betting yesterday and today; not a fan of the unknown and apparently I\'m not alone. Barely a 10 million all sources handle yesterday and very interesting to see what today\'s attendance will be? Taking a shot with 38k.

Strange, 40 minutes ago beautiful morn in Richmond County, skies dark again
now.

Rain or shine, I\"ll take a ride out there. Got some work to do, I\'m fairly
clueless in the Woody and the Belmont.

A day like this? With the food trucks?  They\'ll announce at least 50.

track will be sealed to start the day with the hope of opening up the track no later than the first stake on the card. They expect wet-fast track by Belmont post time.

is there a way to find out when they\'re going to open the track? Im not live on track, so, i\'d hate to bet a race and then find out the track got opened up after its too late.
