A thunderstorm is just now impacting Keeneland. Expect the last race to be off with race 7 being sloppy after the storm passes over the next 15-20 minutes.

First weekend I can remember where tracks on both coasts are being impacted potentially significantly by hurricanes. Hurricane Isaias has been and Hurricane Rachel is expected to luckily move quite quickly. Expect races across the country to be impacted by both of these storms.
