Ugh. Louisville always disappoints when it comes to weather

Looks like tomorrow is a wash out...
I love Tarifa. I hope she can take it. <3

I know. I am always bummed when the Oaks/Derby comes up sloppy. To me it just doesn't have the same excitement as it would if it was a dry track.
Yep, and I really prefer big races run over fast tracks…but what can you do?

Move the Derby to Santa Anita and save California racing, a win-win solution 😉
I've found it easier to tear up tickets at 8/1 instead of 8/5.

Don't be too sure, Stark. The forecast I'm seeing is calling for 60% chance of some showers here tomorrow afternoon/evening. Probably won't be enough to sloppy up the track, but still! It's early May, for Pete's sake!

This Winter and now into Spring has been wetter than a mad hen out here!

This video that World Horse Racing has for Forever Young is nice. They should do that for more horses in the Derby :lol: I especially think the stride length part is cool. 24.14 ft stride for Forever Young

I don't know what those arrows mean though, it doesn't really LOOK muddy but my little xpressbet window is tiny since PeacockTV lied to me by saying their coverage was starting and then they took it back (but now its starting again so I dunno if they actually know).
