I hope it didn't rain during the race. It would be miserable for the horses and everyone involved I would think. This is exciting and as close to Churchill Downs as I'll ever get. Thanks for including us.
Don't worry about the horses. It wasn't actually raining during a race, but the track at Churchill is a study in science itself. The track is made to drain off rather quickly so it doesn't get too sloppy, and they squeeze off the excess so that it dries pretty fast. It is also designed with the horses in mind so that it is as gentle on their legs as possible.

My pleasure, Robyn! I was glad to take you along.
