CD Weather - Saturday

[pj]

I\'m looking at the weather forecast for CD on Saturday, and besides the 60% chance of thundershowers, high winds (20 mph) are expected from the SSW.
  After looking at the CD strip, which runs askew to north-south, this means that the winds will be mostly favorable on the backstretch, and turning for home. So, in addition for fighting for position going into the first turn, a horse will have to fight the wind also. This being said, the horses will also be battling the wind coming down the stretch.
  Thought this might be of interest to some of you.
