After a great day of racing for the #BelmontStakes day card, we are back at it for the final day of the Belmontoga meet. Rain is marching in from the north likely to bring around 0.75" of rain and will arrive in about an hour.

#Saratoga #BelmontStakes The track missed the first round of thunderstorms by half a mile. The second round is expected to arrive 7pm EDT.

[Marshall Sterling @G1Handicapping]

#BelmontStakes day has arrived and the rain is about to as well. Light rain this morning will make way for thunderstorms in the afternoon. I will provide updates throughout the day as to the timing of thunderstorms. #NYWX

[Marshall Sterling @G1Handicapping]

@TRACKGABE Yes it will rain, the big question is if it will be enough to impact either surface... Thunderstorms expected near post time right now

[Marshall Sterling @G1Handicapping]

@nickseevers That will depend on the thunderstorms in general. If they get hit by 1 of not 2 separate storms we would be talking at least an inch more

[Marshall Sterling @G1Handicapping]

#BelmontStakes Forecast:
Friday will be a beautiful, hot Sunny day! Belmont Stakes still looks wet with potential thunderstorms in the afternoon.

[Marshall Sterling @G1Handicapping]

@terrapinwill I doubt that you would see that but it definitely could make the turf a bog

[Marshall Sterling @G1Handicapping]

#BelmontStakes week forecast: Today will be another warm day with lots of sun and a little bit of clouds. Tomorrow the clouds will make way for a hot day. Showers and a possible thunderstorms are creeping into the forecast for Saturday Afternoon. This will be an all or nothing type of weather day

[Marshall Sterling @G1Handicapping]

@brooklyncowboy1 @capitalotb That one will be interesting as the bulk of the rain for Sunday appears to be overnight into the morning. The possible thunderstorms will impact Sunday greatly as far as additional rain is concerned.

[Marshall Sterling @G1Handicapping]

@Rennietime @capitalotb You better post it on X Rennie or its not as effective! Safe travels and enjoy Toga!

[Marshall Sterling @G1Handicapping]

#BelmontStakes week at #Saratoga is upon us! Sunny and hot for most of the week with rain in the forecast for Saturday afternoon that may impact racing.

[Marshall Sterling @G1Handicapping]

#Preakness151 Racing forecast: Laurel received half an inch of rain overnight last night which will be the last rain in the forecast until Sunday. #BES and #Preakness151 will both be amazing days for racing!

[Marshall Sterling @G1Handicapping]

Hey kevin! Although some models are saying things are worse, others are not. The only consistency is the rain has shifted to during the card. I see a 60% chance of between a quarter and half inch throughout the card. If they keep the track sealed it will stay moderately dry. Being on track however will feel like a meh day.

[Marshall Sterling @G1Handicapping]

@stet_dot_net I hope so!

[Marshall Sterling @G1Handicapping]

@HorseRacingKK @GDS_Racing KK does this move the field in that were outside of Puma, or does this move the field out to free up post 1?

#KentuckyOaks Race Day Forecast at @ChurchillDowns Very scattered and brief showers are still a possibility in the afternoon but will not impact racing at all. #KentuckyDerby still looks like a bright sunny day!

[Marshall Sterling @G1Handicapping]

@smaryjones @ChurchillDowns I hope so too! Most forecasts are in the 60-62 range so im hoping I can project some positivity that way! Overnight tonight will determine for me if I bump mine downward or not.

[Marshall Sterling @G1Handicapping]

#Thurby Weather forecast for @ChurchillDowns:
A Beautiful sunny Thurby expected with a high near 65. Expect scattered showers in the morning and again in the mid afternoon. I do not expect any of those showers to impact the #KentuckyOaks card. #KentuckyDerby still looks clear! @InTheMoneyMedia @garypaljr
