St Leger under threat?

Just when I thought we were clear of the terrible weather, it looks like it has come back to haunt us again and we have lost a few races this week. The Saturday racing looks somewhat under threat as well.

I have my eye on the bigger picture though. If you keep an eye on the weather systems on the east coast of the US they tend to move up and over the Atlantic towards us. At the moment tropical storm Hanna is dumping copious amounts of rain over there. Looking at the five day track for the storm it is headed right for us. This could present a threat for the St Leger, I really hope not, lets keep our fingers crossed.
