Just looked at the forecast on Weather.com, and they're calling for a steady rain (50% chance) pretty much from the beginning of the card onward. Worth noting that Gio Ponti already owns a win over a yielding Belmont turf course.
Also worth noting that they took Friday's final race off the turf. Obviously the Flower Bowl and the Turf Classic will stay on the grass regardless, but therre are a couple of one-mile maiden races scheduled for the grass that could potentially get moved to the main track. Particularly Race 5, as they would likely be trying to protect the course leading up to the graded events.
