Off-Track Saturday

[Charismatic1]

I'm wondering what all of you think about the possibility/likelihood of an off-track for Derby Day. How will this affect your wagering strategy, your selections, etc for the Derby and the other races on the card? Is there anybody you were heavy on that you would toss if this occurs or someone you wouldn't considered except for this possibility? Also, how would this figure into the Oaks as well? Look forward to seeing your opinions...

From what I can gather I think it is good or fast at racetime.

Still a 60% chance of thundershowers. Looks like it will probably be an off track...

I looked at all the hourly reports from now until post time and atleast half of them call for rain. I'm hoping it's only light. I'm going to wait and see, but I'm figuring for an off turf course for the earlier races.

Anyone think that Sedgefield will have a better shot if it rains?

If they get about 14 feet of rain in a two hour stretch, thus making the track a complete and utter swamp so that none of the horses are able to take a step without getting literally stuck in the mud....his chances will improve.
As long as the other horses are physically able to move their legs.....his chances are the same.......zero.
