Default Turf for tomorrow?
What do you think NYRA will do with the turf races for tomorrow?

Will all the early races get scrapped for the big ones late?

12th and 13th are off already, and they announced to the press box at around 3pm today that they anticipate keeping the 4th and 5th on. The rain has tapered considerably since about 5:00...

Steve,

Any idea if Benny the Bull goes at Monmouth or Belmont?

Thanks Steve. Trying to put some work into tonight and always nice to have a feeling for what might happen. Sure it will be soaked but would love to see them keep those early races on the turf.

Why are they keeping the 4th and 5th on but not 12th and 13th?

I agree...but the 4th and 5th are good races. I'd like to see them stay on.

Thank You for the update Steve. The 4th and 5th look like decent grass races and besides taking a glance, I've held back from handicapping these races. We have seats in section N and we're planning on enjoying the day and making a few dollars too. Good Luck at the windows.

And if any of you are playing simos Monmouth has taken all races off the turf with more tracks to follow.
