Following the cancellation of Friday's card due to inclement weather, looks like the worst is over.

Saturday and Sunday will proceed as planned with Friday's card going to a day in the following week.

Saturday's card features the Gr 1 Beholder Mile for f&m.  Baffert saddles 3 of the 8 runners with his Fun to Dream on 5/2 with next best coming from Steve Asmussen with Pauline's Pearl 7/2.

No weather problems that we are aware of at Tampa Bay with the Hillsborough, Florida Oaks and Tampa Bay Derby all on the card.

The Hillsborough Gr 2 is over 1800m on turf with two Chad Brown runners on top in the Morning Line – Shantisara on 2/1 and Rougir 7/2.

The Florida Oaks is Gr 3 over 1700m turf with a full field of 12 and 2 emergencies.  Chad Brown heads this market too with Free Look on 2/1 and Alpha Bella from Tod Pletcher's barn on 9/2.

The Tampa Bay Derby is over 1800m and has 12 runners headed by Tapit Trice on 8/5 for Pletcher with Saez riding.  Stablemate Shesterken is on 9/2 and Mott's Classic Legacy could be value on 6/1.

Going North Oaklawn Park hosts the Azeri Stakes Gr 2 over 1700m with 8 to run.  Asmussen's Clairiere looks a good thing here and is on 6/5 with Joel Rosario on board.  Secret Oath is 5/2 for D Wayne Lukas and Gaffalone rides and Interstatedaydream is on 3/1 for Cox-Geroux.
