Racing and the eclipse

A handful of tracks are running tomorrow afternoon. I think that could be a pretty memorable strange experience, to witness it with a small crowd of horsemen and horseplayers. By my reckoning, Thistle and Delaware will get about an 80% exposure; is that enough to get animals a little unnerved? If I was a trainer, I might have taken a pass on Monday entries.

Saratoga will see less of it, but still enough to cast an eerie vibe, I would think. Could be a good day for the photography-minded members of our subculture.

Maybe some jockey will hide in the dark in the stretch and come out just in time to win a race.

Louisiana Downs is one of them tomorrow; it could happen there.
