Been raining there for a few days. Forecast says no more rain tomorrow. Any experienced Oaklawn watchers think there is a chance the track will dry out and be fast or good tomorrow for Southwest day?

Southwest looks kind of chalky with Mourinho and Combatant. Zing Zang looks like he has upside at a price.

Bill it is still very wet, we are hoping the rain stays away today.
Sloppy, sloppy , muddy, muddy the last 4 days.

I feel maintenance will work hard to force some of the moisture out and then seal the track.

Good would be our best guess today. 20K MC runners ran 1.11 and change yesterday, so not exactly slow.

Good luck today.

Track surface might be fast by post time for the Southwest. Sun is out, 72 degrees and a fairly strong breeze blowing.

Were you as surprised as I was that they didn't DQ Combatant?
