Breeders' Cup Day Weather - Not Favorable
After a nice spring, an unreal summer and a comfortable autumn at the Jersey Shore, it figured to be a safe bet that the Breeders' Cup at Monmouth Park would take place under ideal weather conditions.
But the races on Saturday, which will take place rain or shine — including the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic, expected to be watched by a sellout crowd of 45,000 and a global television audience of millions — may indeed be run in the rain.
With 0.8 of an inch of rain having already fallen as of Thursday morning, and a forecast that calls for the possibility of another 1 1/2 inches by Saturday morning, Mother Nature seems intent on having an impact on this year's Breeders' Cup World Championships.
According to the Weather Channel, there was an 80 percent chance of rain on Friday and another 80 percent chance on Saturday, though Saturday's forecast called for thunderstorms as opposed to steadier precipitation.
