Day two wasn’t good. Rain off and on all day until about 4:30 pm when the front finally finished passing through and the sun came out. The forecast through next Wednesday is beautiful – sunny and mid 70’s to low 80’s. I hope they are right.
With the rain most of the turf races were moved to the main track with the resultant scratch of many horses. It was a day for extremely casual betting. I’m glad I reduced my bets because I hit nothing! I had a 20-1 shot run a great race. He led to a couple of steps before the finish line before getting caught. There was an inquiry because the third horse looked like he got cut off by the winner. Steward’s inquiry and jockey objection. But, in fact, it was my horse who committed the foul and he was moved from second to third. Had he won and then got disqualified, I would have been upset even more than just losing at the wire. That’s horse racing.
