Too early to know what the weather will do. Rain is probable. Nevertheless, here are a few to take a good look at.

Race 1: Am going to take one more shot at #9 Bishop Of Nola, 4-1,

Race 2: #2 Spare Change, play of the day. Phipps homie out of Bernardini/ Storm cat mare is said to be the best looking 2yo fillie on the Spa grounds. She ran early in meet on a sloppy sealed track and ran wide, but came on well going 5f.. Got 2nd in debut and stretches out to 7f today. Shug has made it known that she could be special. Julian Leparoux in the saddle.

Race 7: #2 Motion Lounge, 4-1, 2yo ny bred fillie from Brooklyn Boyz Stable has caught backside attention. Watch the toteboard.

Race 8: #3 Silver Screamer, 5/2, Mike Repole owned goes from Mott to George Weaver. Expect a big effort, but look out for 7 & 8. Ex bx 3/7/8

Race 10: MTO play #14, Sally's Dream, 5/2

More info to follow when the scratches are announced.

    As of 8:00 a.m. it is almost certain that all turf races will come off. NYRA won't fuck around with Travers weekend upcoming. This could be one of those days where you don't play anything at 6-1 or less, unless, of course, MTO plays. This could be IRAD'S break-out day! I had good info today on several of Weaver's but all are turf races and most will likely sct. Today at the Spa will be a major challenge!

    Race 9
    oc $50k 3 yo up 7f

    Assuming by race 9 the track is sloppy fast, do not leave this one out of your play. #6 Will's Wildcat, 5-1.
    Throw out last in GII Jim Dandy, @ 1 1/8, this one cuts way back today to 7f . Word is that this speedy colt will try to take these w2w. Not in for the tag, and he has the speed to carry his way to the winners circle. Low key KY trainer Jimmy Baker has this one ready for a Spa effort. In last work going 5f in 1:00 flat was witnessed by several who are still talking.

    BTW, rains are coming down, alot of races may still come off-turf?
