Sounds like a Hurricane is set to hit Monmouth and Saratoga on Sunday/Monday. I was told by a trainer he is taking his horses and leaving for Churchill on Friday because the weather may actually wipe out days at both tracks.
Fortunately I won't get up there until Wednesday.
Re: Can anyone confirm Sunday and Monday's Monmouth and Saratoga cards will be cancel
I can't confirm anything but would guess that Monmouth is way more of a possibility than Saratoga.
I'm sure it is NYRA's fault.
Everyone come home sound
If this storm stays on track, there might not be any racing at Saratoga or Monmouth the rest of the summer. Both tracks could get destroyed, especially Saratoga with it being so old. If they were smart they would card the Personal Ensign for Saturday and get as many horses out of there as possible. The problem is that Belmont might be under water.Originally Posted by Rick1323
You are an idiot with everything said here.........the best part being that you made this thread at 6:19pm and are suggesting they should make the Personal Ensign Saturday.......when they already drew Saturdays card by 1pm today.You are such a Dufuss...

Monmouth Park is not getting wiped out by this.... once that storm hits the cooler waters it will slow down so we will wind up getting the occasional 60-70MPH wind gust that we get from nor-easters in the winter. Now Sea Bright, that's a different story as it gets the water from the river and the ocean!
And you expected more from QC? Shame on you BF.

Don't be stupid. This is going to be the strongest storm to ever hit the East Coast. No power for a week. You will see.
Weather.com has an interactive storm tracker for Irene. You can type in your city and get the probability of storm winds. I know things can change, but right now the probability of Saratoga getting storm winds in excess of 35 mph is 10% for Monday and 0% at all other times.
I just checked and it said a heavy gust of hot air is expected to hit Saratoga sometime on Wednesday.....coincidence? I think not..
