Saratoga Weather Opening Day

[rrbauer]

Web site says "Muddy and Yielding"

Still shows all 4 races going on turf.

ugh.
Saratoga mud is supposedly not like mud at other tracks. I've never really studied this. It's a Mark Cramer theory.
Big problem with the Spa is if its not raining in NY where I am, it could be pouring upstate. Looks like I have to keep my Doppler Radar weather.com site on to keep checking the weather up near Albany.

Why ,would Mud not be the same as other tracks that don't run during the winter months.

Yielding turf is tough anywhere.Horss going a route will be exausted after 6 furlongs.

I think the angle Crammer was writting about wass that horses that showed good mud form at Belmont did not run well in Saratoga myd, and vice versa. tis can be easily checked out now with lifetime PP's available through Formulator.

Opening day In the MUD the front runners were dieing at the top of the stretch. Today fast track front runner stayed on the lead to the wire.....Who said front speed in the mud is best..
Go figure
