Title: Friday spa weather
Post by: covelj70 on July 31, 2009, 04:03:39 AM
It\'s raining like there\'s no tomorrow up here right now after gorgeous weather all day Thursday.  My guess is that they take everything off the turf except the feature   given the heavy stakes action on the turf this weekend but I thought they would be off yesterday and they weren\'t so I hope I\'m wrong again.

Covel, dammit, the reason we send you up there early is to get us some good weather.

Looking at the card, I was going to sit chilly for the first 5 races today
anyway (races 2-5 all maiden P4, a travesty).

As long as they leave the L. George on the lawn, the late P4 will be my play,
maybe looking at Attfield\'s 12/1 Euro who has run almost exclusively over soft
and heavy going.

As a backup, maybe Jimbo can chime in with some Del Mar selections.

Sunny and warm forecast in Toronto, eh? Will download some Woodbine races.

According NYRA Website, all races off turf except R8 feature.

Sloppy and Yielding, no scratches listed yet.

Expecting a bundle..making this a tough betting day....
