HOU not cancelled tonite ...

[BillW]

Equibase has Sammy listed as cancelled tonite after race 5 due to power failure. Unless they are psychic, they will run tonite (including the $100,000 Maxxam Gold cup and the Sprint and Distaff)

The cancellation occured last night (1/16) and as far as I know will not affect tonites card.

sloppy down there?

Just got a call from my son. he is in Houston. Will be at Shammy tonight. He said it is overcast and raining, so......it probably will be sloppy.
If anyone down there has an update, I'd like to know.
Thanks

It is clearing up here about 50 miles south (slowly ... to a partly cloudy condition) . Humidity is staying high, near 100% and about 70 degrees. Don't expect much drying as the forcast is saying partly cloudy w/scattered storms.

The track is right beneath the tail of the "u" in "Houston" on the map.

ceejay,

Definitely. Power went out in the rain last night, although I have no idea whether that was the cause or not. We had lot's of rain last night but has been quiet today. Humidity remains high.

Thanks, Bill
I hope my son gets to meet up with my buddy in the paddock tonight, and I hope it isn't raining!
There is a two hour time difference to the west coast?
