Racing is back
on the turf on Friday at the Gulfstream Park West meet, which is run at Calder
in Miami Gardens.
Skies were
clear at Calder at 10:30 a.m., amid expe ctations that they would stay
that way.
The course
is listed as Firm and the dirt track is listed as Fast for the nine-race card with first post of 12:35 p.m.
That
follows Thursday, when four of the five scheduled-for-turf races were moved to dirt,
and Wednesday, when all five scheduled for turf races were moved to dirt—due to
wet conditions from rain that fell earlier those days.
Thursday
was the 34th day of
the 40-day GP West meet that will end Nov. 26.
On eleven days, meet sponsor Gulffstream Park took most or all of its
scheduled-for-turf races off that surface.
Last year, races were taken off turf on only four
days in the 37-day meet.
Five of
today’s races--the odd-numbered ones—are scheduled for turf with the rail
at 20 feet.
The
carryover on the Rainbow 6 is $42,656.
It is on races four to nine.
The Weather
Channel forecast is for just a 15 percent chance of rain during
racing hours.
