Pimlico fudges the attendance figures every year.

Yes. I got my meteorology degree back in 2002. I got away from that field as the working hours were brutal. Most non-TV mets work a rotating 24/7 schedule including holidays.
I see the 00z ECMWF also squirts out 2+ inches for BWI. I guess we can call it likely now. The track is getting a presoak today as well. We will know if Exaggerator is a real mudder or just a one hit wonder.

Fudging the numbers was probably too kind . I remember when 80k was packed yet the year the infield was a ghost town they still announced 80k or so.

cj's right. Lots of tracks fudge the numbers. Back in the 1980's and early 1990's, the Churchill attendance figures at major races were considered a joke by a lot of racing officials out here (you could tell they were inflated because they were way out of proportion to the on-track handle; they announced per capitas of $80 when everyone else was at $200 or more).
I'm sure it's not limited to Churchill and Pimlico, though. For the record, I don't think some recent Breeders' Cup numbers at Santa Anita were accurate either.

From NWS Baltimore:
a general 1 to 2 inches looks likely given the synoptic setup. Guidance
has trended a bit slower with the whole progression, which means much
of Saturday may end up being a washout.

Only a down pour will change my selections. Or should I say re-arrange them. And for the Abbott and Costello fans - don't forget a good mudder always eats it's fodder
