Rides of the Storm:Click here for pictures from the Paddock
SCARBOROUGH, ME 7-18-2008: During the finish stretch of Race 5 Friday night the sky grew dark as a front approached. The font was very clear and try as I might I was not lucky enough to get an image with breaking ligtening bolts. Doug Gray is driving Tyler Trouble.
(Picture to the left) Here you are seeing the view looking toward the Paddock, with Kim Ireland on Kerogen, and the storm is very pronounced. It appears that the area just past Scarborough Downs is getting hammered with strong microbursts.
The Scarborough Downs judges made the call that all horses warming up were to return to the paddock, and wait out the storm that appeared would be unleashing its might shortly. Here (Right) you see Jerry Watson on Mighty Dragon N taking the advice and returning.
