After some overnight rain, and surely out of precaution with the giant weekend ahead, the two turf sprints (races 3 and 9) scheduled on a 9-race Thursday card here at Old Hilltop are both OFF, while the other three turf races (all around 2 turns) remain ON (those are races 1, 5, 7). There's no more rain in the forecast thru the weekend.

First post is 1:10 ET. The main track will be fast and the turf will be rated good (if not firm).

Here's the Equibase link to all the early Thursday SCRATCHES:
