What are they smoking by putting the Obispo as the 3rd?

When Hammer cards a turf stake early in the day, it is usually because rain is in the forecast. They figure there is a better chance the course will be in good enough shape earlier on in the afternoon to be able to stay on the grass.

And indeed, a visit to Weather Underground confirms that some rain is in the forecast for Arcadia.

http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/...%2C+California

Friday Mostly cloudy with a 50 percent chance of rain. Highs around 60. Southeast winds around 15 mph shifting to the south in the afternoon.

Friday Night Rain. Lows in the upper 30s to mid 40s.

Saturday Showers likely. Breezy. Highs in the 50s. Chance of precipitation 70 percent.

A better question would be "Who cares why they stuck it in the third race?".

[eajinabi]

How ironic a 1 1/2 mile race fills 13 horses where a sprint only fills 7. I hope this continues this way.

I know this really has nothing to do with it, but could it somehow be because of timing? One would think that the handle would be greater for a race that goes off at 4:30 est as opposed to 7:30 est bc alot of horseplayers will be right in the thick of things at east coast tracks.

Even with the ease of which I can make a wager these days, I'm more apt to play a west coast race while it's sandwiched between the two or three tracks that I'm following that day, then I am to wait a few hours after my the tracks are done running and get back into the swing of things with a fresh approach.

None of this makes any real sense, just my two cent$.

Fun race that San Vicente. It'll be interesting to see how much money The Cripple takes.

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Isn't it a little early to assume he's going to be a cripple?

Considering he already has feet problems and enters this race with two works in 42 days, his health is a bit of a concern. He's obviously incredibly fast but he's going to get a hell of a battle early in here if the field stays intact.

He wins this race in a laugher. I guess running 108 beyers means you should be right back on the worktab the next day.

[pucknut]

factor on three legs wins this
this horse will prove to be something special

I'm 25 minutes away from SA and it's raining kinda hard right now...

Thought I'd mention it.

Since when is Burbank 25 minutes from SA?

Maybe at 3 AM after an apocalyptic event has cleared out 90% of the LA basin.

[NTamm1215]

They announced that IF the San Luis Obispo is run on turf then the gate will be positioned at the 5/8ths pole and it'll be run from there. No downhill course.

[Alan07]

Anyone have ''on-site'' details on the rain? Looks pretty bad at Los Al.

There's a cool new feature on the Internet, called Google.

You can go to their website and type things like "weather at santa anita".

Or, type in "local weather information".

It's pretty nifty, and it's only limited by your imagination!

[Alan07]

Rain seems to have stop, though I heard showers off and on (some heavy) through Sunday morning.
