AT 1100 AM EDT…1500 UTC…THE CENTER OF HURRICANE IRENE WAS
\nLOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 25.9 NORTH…LONGITUDE 76.8 WEST.
\nIRENE IS
\nMOVING TOWARD THE NORTH-NORTHWEST NEAR 13 MPH…20 KM\/H. THIS
\nMOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT WITH A TURN TOWARD
\nTHE NORTH BY EARLY FRIDAY. ON THE FORECAST TRACK…THE CORE OF THE
\nHURRICANE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE OVER THE NORTHWESTERN BAHAMAS
\nTODAY…AND PASS WELL OFFSHORE OF THE EAST COAST OF CENTRAL AND
\nNORTH FLORIDA TONIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY. THE HURRICANE IS FORECAST
\nTO APPROACH THE COAST OF NORTH CAROLINA ON SATURDAY.<\/p>\n

MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 115 MPH…185 KM\/H…WITH HIGHER
\nGUSTS. IRENE IS A CATEGORY THREE HURRICANE ON THE SAFFIR-SIMPSON
\nHURRICANE WIND SCALE. SOME STRENGTHENING IS POSSIBLE TODAY AND
\nTONIGHT.<\/p>\n

HURRICANE FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 70 MILES…110 KM…FROM
\nTHE CENTER…AND TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 290
\nMILES…465 KM.<\/p>\n

THE LATEST MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE REPORTED BY AN AIR FORCE RESERVE
\nHURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT WAS 951 MB…28.08 INCHES.<\/p>\n

Free<\/a> ones:<\/p>\n

Rundown
\nSaratoga Race Course<\/strong> 4, 6, 9
\nCalder<\/strong> 2, 5, 7
\nDel Mar Thoroughbred Club<\/strong> 4, 6, 7<\/p>\n

Good throughout, even at no-turf Calder.<\/p>\n

Pay-side:<\/p>\n

Rundown
\nRiver<\/strong> 2, 7, 8
\nWoodbine<\/strong> 1, 5, 7
\nArlington<\/strong> 5, 8, 9
\nLouisiana<\/strong> 1, 4, 9
\nRemington<\/strong> 4, 6, 9
\nRetama<\/strong> 2, 4<\/p>\n

Here we are a little lacking. Finally off the turf at Bossier City. The finale at Arlington Heights is a doozie; indeed, it gives rise to the first Bonkers Pentafecta Box in the long and shuffling history of the pay-side Live Longshots. Leave it to the southwestern part of the United States to redeem the longshot players tonight.<\/p>\n

WMF Report<\/strong>: Speed-track of your evening has to be the Canterbury. As always, Rexdale-Etobicoke International punishes any frontrunners daring to get to the lead in races beyond 6f.<\/p>\n

Speed<\/strong>
\nCanterbury 5½f, 6f
\nEmerald 6f
\nLouisiana 6f<\/p>\n

Rally<\/strong>
\nWoodbine 7f (WMF 8 )<\/p>\n

Rally (Honourable Mention)<\/strong>
\nWoodbine 1 1\/16m (WMF 26)<\/p>\n

Nocturnal Submission<\/strong>: The opener<\/strong> at the Evangeline<\/strong> (6:40 p.m. EDT \/ 3:40 p.m. PDT) is a collection of 14 straws of equal length, which means #10 Diablo Act<\/strong> and #11 Promissory Dance<\/strong> are worth drawing. …Similarly random in the sixth<\/strong> there (8:55 \/ 5:55), and the insane duo this time couples #12 Bite of Sunshine<\/strong> and #4 Sefa’s Dynamo<\/strong>. …<\/p>\n

Thank you. Best wishes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
