I was on track yesterday (Wednesday):
Main was rated Good and seemed in decent shape; horses won with different styles, though it seemed like inside was a bit better than outside. The track base seemed solid and horses didn\'t seem to be slipping or anything, though I think the track was pretty deep and they did get tired.
Turf: Rated Good and I think that was accurate; the course seemed fine for the one race they ran over it.
If anyone is on track today Thursday please report. I\'m concerned with how things will shape up on Saturday with three days of rain.
DRF had races 1 and 2 as Muddy.
Monmouth,
Sloppy sealed from 3rd thru 10th, all styles. Does not seem possible to have a fast track Sat with a semi-bog turf course, ugh!!
weather should clear up soon after the classic tomorrow...

for early indication of tomorrow\'s track, check today\'s track and imagine worse.
maybe the forecast is wrong though.
Worse possible scenario, sloppy,sealed dirt and boggy turf, guaranteed to produce tons of X\'s.
