A couple computer models projected out to Friday-Sat call for 6-10 inches of snow from Virginia up through Boston.......could blow up the race weekend

It's early........but something to watch

Just read the latest Forecast Discussion out of the NWS New York office.
The models are in agreement with a storm track across the Tennessee Valley into the Mid Atlantic states which should keep the East Coast on the cold side of the storm. Further, the forecasters see the heaviest snow along the coast. This obviously will effect Phila, and NYC.
Not looking good for Aqueduct with this forecast.

The game is so erratic in the winter,I don't see how you guys even have the desire to play it.Weather cancellations.About 10 gradations of track condition.Spurious form.Breaks in training.I left it all behind in 2008 and don't miss it!

So because it might snow and a track or two in the northeast could cancel tomorrow, we should give up racing?

Believe it or not, it snows during football games sometimes. The NFL appears to have survived this weather tragedy to make a dollar or two.

No bet tracks in warmer climes.I rotate tracks throughout the south and west during the winter.Unless you are a glutton for punishment.I don't see the emotional attatchement to tracks that deal with the winter deluge.Especially since it is more often than not the crappier betting product and class of races.I wish I would have done so sooner than the 12 years it took.You'll thank yourself later.

I hate the cancellations, but love the changes in track conditions. They create bias and when gives me an edge over the data base handicappers. For instance , last Friday at AQU there was a strong early speed bias with a pretty good rail bias. By Saturday, it was a lot weaker and on Sunday it was completely gone. Friday was the day to make money, Saturday and Sunday were days that could have taken it back if you were not alert.
