Below are the current scratches and jockey changes. The track is fast, the turf is firm, and the temporary rail is out 12 feet. Then, there's this forecast for Oceanport, from The Weather Channel:
... MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INTO TONIGHT...
A STRONG AREA OF LOW PRESSURE TRACKING TO OUR NORTH THIS AFTERNOON WILL
PULL A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS OUR AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING. A VERY
WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS AHEAD OF THIS COLD FRONT COUPLED WITH A
STRENGTHENING WIND FIELD ABOVE THE SURFACE, WILL LEAD TO THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH EARLY TONIGHT.
and...
THE WIND PROFILES IN THE LOWER PORTION OF THE ATMOSPHERE MAY BECOME
CONDUCIVE ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR SOME THUNDERSTORMS TO ROTATE, THEREFORE A
TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT. IN ADDITION TO THE DAMAGING WIND
POTENTIAL, THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING FREQUENT CLOUD TO
GROUND LIGHTNING, HAIL AND HEAVY RAIN.
Sounds like the storm, if it does come, won't develop until after the races are over. But with this forecast in mind it's worth noting that post times may be accelerated today.
