It appears uncertain weather conditions surrounding Hurricane Debby will dictate the fate of racing at the Spa for the remainder of the week. Overnight rain Tuesday into Wednesday saturated the grass courses, resulting in all three scheduled turf races being moved to the main oval and run with a limited number of horses. More of the same is expected through the weekend.

Race 3 (2:18 p.m. ET/11:18 a.m. PT) — $125K JOHN MORRISSEY HANDICAP, NY-bred 3YOs & up going 6 furlongs

#6 LOOMS BOLDLY (3-1 morning line), trained by first-class conditioner Brad Cox and ridden by veteran Florent Geroux, the 4YO gelding will run as fast as he can as far as he can. Works indicate he’s ready to wire the field. Bold prediction.

Race 4 (2:52 p.m. ET/11:52 a.m. PT) — $80K MAIDEN SPECIAL WEIGHT restricted for 2YOs going 6 furlongs

#1 EIGHTY WEST (5-2 morning line) for the Dallas Stewart stable. Old guy’s tale: If Stewart is wearing a sharp suit and tie, he expects to have his picture taken. If not, pitch his horse. A rider upgrade to Tyler Gaffalione and rail post add to the appeal.
