Your weather service is lying to you ,Ruff. Rain likelihood in Tampa is 15% at least through Thursday. That means 85% chance of partly cloudy skies. I use national weather service.

WHEN I CHECKED THE TAMPA AREA   VIA 'WUNDERGROUND' + RACE TRACK WEATHER
    {TYPING ON SUNDAY}  FOR: WEATHER: TAMPA FOR WEDNESDAY
                            RAIN LIKELY SAME FOR GULFSTREAM
                                    SAME FOR SAM HOUSTON

WEATHER FORECASTING IS THE ONLY OCCUPATION
WHERE THEY CAN BE WRONG 80% OF THE TIME
                     AND NOT GET FIRED!
                              :OMG:

:lightbulb: PLUS: OUT OF THE LAST 5 MIDWEEK MAYHEMS TRACKS
                *3 WERE TAMPA + *2 WERE GULFSTREAM

"...Had my rain gear ready and you pulled a fast one. A fast track for a change."

                        Glad to see some are OK with the Choice  :)

AM SO SORRY THAT NOT EVERYONE IS "PLEASED" WITH THE CHOICE   :'(
                             {{ Personally....Neither Am I }}

                YA CAN'T PLEASE ALL THE PEEPS ALL THE TIME ~
                                   BUT I SURE DO TRY!
                                    :oie_30232359NUVsTmH4:

I felt compelled to review the tracks I really wanted Future weather forecast

                          My first intention was SAM HOUSTON

When I checked Tracks Weather on Sunday because I needed to post the venue
       Most future forecasts indicated rain or snow mix for Northern Tracks
                                                   :flaming:

Rain for Tampa even though we have played there are three out of five times + Rain at GP
                 {** Per EP Post: That Forecast Changed = But I Never Knew}

I felt I was living that expression "Between A Rock And a Hard place"
                                            :banghead:

  :lightbulb: Additionally, not  that many tracks  Running on Wednesday = Limiting Choices

So my heartfelt  apology to all who are not happy with the choice   :-\
I will send you Colossal Colorado Catnip  :thumbsup: to make your day a bit brighter
                                                          :girlkiss:

Imaginary rain in Tampa. My neighbor's potted plants need water. They ain't getting it from the sky this week.

                                       :forruffian:

YA CANT PLEASE ALL THE PEEPS ALL THE TIME  :-\
          BUT ... I SURE AS HELL DO TRY!

When I checked FUTURE Weather Forecasts on SUNDAY
For the tracks that were running on Wednesday

The ones in the north like Penn National  and Charles Town = Snow / Rain
Tampa + GP + San Houston = Rain showers
           :lightbulb:  Plus ~ Only A Few Tracks Running On Wednesday  :lightbulb:

                 I was between the proverbial "ROCK and a HARD PLACE"   
                                                   :flaming:

                TURF PARADISE SEEMED TO BE THE ONLY CHOICE LEFT   

                               "No good deed goes Unpunished"

     I was trying to prevent a card with a lot of scratches or horses taken off the turf
