Congratulations to jockey Mike Smith for guiding Justify through the torrential rain to win the wettest Kentucky Derby in history, and that rain has been causing havoc elsewhere, just ask the people of New Brunswick.

It has also curtailed the LPGA event, the Volunteers of America LPGA Texas Classic in Dallas to 36 holes after wiping out Thursday and Friday, play began yesterday and Brooke Henderson nearly finished all 36 !
Her first round was E 71, then she went right back out and got it to -4 through 15 which is a T6, 2 shots behind a group of 6 women at various stages of play. Brooke will be back to wrap up her remaining 3 holes today.
Brittany Marchand shot 71 E, and has 18 to play. Anne Catherine Tanguay also shot 71 E and has 9 to play, Alena Sharp shot 70 -1 and has 6 to play, Lorie Kane shot +9 80, and Maude Aimee LeBlanc has withdrawn after a 75.

Meanwhile at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, N.C, at the Wells Fargo Championship, bad weather has not been a factor, but the horses to use a Kentucky Derby terminology, are positioned at the top of the stretch for the run to the wire.
Adam Hadwin made a big move in the backstretch with a -6 65 and is in contention at -4 T11, but 6 shots (lengths!) off the lead held by a resurgent Jason Day 69 67 67 -10 who has a two shot lead over long shot, Nick Watney 72 67 66 -8.
The pack is tightly bunched behind, with Phil Mickelson firing a 64 making a charge to -5, pre race favourites Rickie Fowler and Patrick Reed wearing new blinkers at -4, Rory McIlroy at -3.
Sentimental favourite Tiger Woods seems to far behind at -1 but will be wearing his traditional black and red silks today none the less.
Other Canadian breds, Corey Connors 75 69 69 E, and Mac Hughes 71 73 70 +1 are out of the running.
The wind is expected to pick up a race time so we'll see how that affects the track, it should be dry and fast !
