Saturday was a wet day at many race tracks across the virtual nation, and AQU was not immune to the raindrops on this day. The track would be downgraded to “good”, but it would not lead to any scratches.

Karloffs Monster was no stranger to that route, running in both the TAM Derby and the AR Derby before eventually running in the BEL.
