per NYRA web site @ 7:21 AM
Track:  Good
Turf:   Good

miff: raining steady at belmont, more predicted with possible heavy t-storms later today.ugh!!

Silver Charm: Frank weather channel just said it was going to be VERY hit or miss on the rain.

Im gonna assume its gonna be dry until it turns wet.

FrankD.: Silver,

Both courses are already labeled Good, it rained overnight and this am.
It\'s 50/50 throughout the rest of the day.

Michael D.: if this weather map is correct, Elmont takes a good amount of rain between 11 and 2pm. one real ugly cell figures to develop around 1pm, directly over Elmont. more rain around 3pm.

grain of salt, as these things are about as accurate as my handicapping, but this could turn into a washout.

FrankD.: MTO\'s are already scratched for the 1st & 5th.

SoCalMan2: Shackleford becomes very interesting if the track comes up sloppy.  Also, he seems to be the true contrarian pick in a race that to me is completely wide open.

drbillym: Just changed to muddy.

Michael D.: the storm that was seen passing over at 1pm has now disappeared from the weather.com 6 hour map.

they\'d be better off hiring psychics.

Topcat: On days like this . . . as tough a racket as the business we\'ve chosen.
