Thunderstorm with heavy winds approaching CD.  Infield patrons being asked to take cover.  Storm expected to pass through at 5pm.  Racing will be delayed until storm passes.

Let\'s wager!  

How long does it take to get 10,000 drunk, half-naked college kids out of danger of the tents collapsing on their heads?

(yes, this could be a disaster if the winds are high ... )

My personal favorite are the young guys that try to run across the roofs of the portable toilets, about 20 of them in a row, while everyone down below throws beer bottles at them.

Can\'t wait to see the live TV broadcast, it will be crazy trying to emptying out the infield.

Yeah that always seemed like a low percentage play.

Succesful Dan knocked me out of the pick 6, used the second horse.

If they\'re gonna take this grass race off I\'d like to know it so I can cancel my bets.

Infield now open.  Most of the worse rain missed the track.  Anybody there?  What did they do to the track?

10th Turf race now at 5:30 in 17 minutes

11th Kentucky Oaks at 6:20 PM Eastern Daylight Time

Migliore says standing water on track and it will be labeled muddy.

As an aside, I thought I\'d get 15-1 on the 3 so I wheeled her in the Oaks derby double.

She\'s 2nd choice at 5-1. As  my late friend Dick Hamilton would say \"Lovely\".................

No kidding. Must be every wiseguy\'s play of the day or something. Given the odds, I am going to take a small flyer on 13 Amie\'s Dini with a saver exacta of the 2 and 6 over the 13.
