The Oaks should be okay tomorrow. That rain band will stay there and slowing pivot overnight Friday into Saturday into the KD region. Saturday is marginal, but I still have hope that at worst, there will be only showers for the Derby.

[tucker6]

I can see most of the card getting wet today with 1/4 inch or so by Derby post time. Start time for steady rain should be late morning. Not too terribly bad an amount over an 6-8 hour period.

I just looked at weather.com for May 3rd & the high will be supposedly 65 & 40% chance of rain........look for this to change quite frequently within the next 8 days.

SAM,

Here's what we say in Kentucky..


"If you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes and it'll change."

Lotta truth there.Seen a few times it's snowed out at Keeneland in the Spring Meet

Week after Giacamo's Derby..the high in Lexington was freaking 45 and windy... :D

[SecretAgentMan]

Beautiful day for Kentucky derby.........will be a fast track. I'm glad because I'm tired of seeing the derby running on sloppy tracks.

[nads1420]

looks like perfect weather on the 10 day 79 and sunny

[Parson]

The weather for the entire week is what is referred to as chamber of commerce ordered

[SecretAgentMan]

Friday, high is 72 & sunny!

Saturday, high of 86 & sunny!


No sloppy track for those horses that love the rain.

[tucker6]

Actually there is a chance for showers Saturday morning. We shall see as we get closer.

[BettinBilly]

I'm guessing the track will have a chance of 70 percent dry, 30 percent wet for the Derby, but no mud or slop. If I had to bet, I'd bet "Good" condition on the track for Saturday. Tomorrow? :confused: I'm just glad I'm not a weatherman.

The forecast I'm seeing from Accuweather has it partly sunny with a T-Storm in the afternoon on Saturday. Friday? Shoot darts at a board and you'd probably be as accurate as a weatherman on Friday. Variable Cloudiness is called for. But who knows. The area has been getting pop-up showers for a while.

[tucker6]

latest is that Friday will be perfect. Saturday, I'd give dry conditions at 95%. I don't expect problems.

Sounds good to me! :ThmbUp:

[amishrakefight]

Rain around or directly over the track between 5:15-5:30. FYI

[BettinBilly]

Well, it's pouring at Churchill.

Luckily should be short-lived.
