Thunderstorms in the morning could produce winds of around 40 miles per hour, and we expect southerly winds at around 15 to 20 miles an hour in the afternoon. The heavy rainfall shouldn't hit until after midnight." Churchill officials, who are still expecting a crowd of about 150,000, indicated that, short of a tornado warning, people would likely not need to evacuate the infield. Though heavy rain could produce flooding in the underground tunnel that leads from the grandstand to the infield, track personnel said the tunnel typically drains quickly under such circumstances. The lighting system installed by Churchill last year will enable the race to be safely lit in the event it is delayed significantly. The 2009 Derby, contested under dark skies and over a sloppy track, was won by the 50-1 Mine That Bird (Birdstone), and a similar scenario could be in the cards once more. AAny time the track gets like that, every longshot has a chance,@ said trainer Bob Baffert, who will saddle morning-line favorite Lookin At Lucky (Smart Strike) and expected pacesetter Conveyance (Indian Charlie) this afternoon. But the Hall of Famer quipped, AThe gray horse won=t be eating any mud--he=ll be gone.@ Field p7 P TDN HEADLINE NEWS • 5/1/10 • PAGE 2 of 19 • thoroughbreddailynews.com
