This breeders cup was under such safety scrutiny...30+ examining vets on the grounds...they are ALL WRONG and he's the only one right? He's the sole voice of reason??

Total... TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT... They knew what they were getting 4 days ago and to have this mess is 100% total ignorance and incompetence...
What a f****** joke.

There was a precedent...NYRA cancelled a card for hot weather about 10 years ago (Frank D. might be able to give the exact year)...My guess is that they run on Saturday... Monmouth Park might be an entirely different situation...Is going to be 5-10° hotter than Saratoga...the 'real-feel' temp. (Includes the effect of the humidity) will be 110°+

I don't post alot on this board but feel that I have to after that last post... SIMILAR TO ASPIRIN??
This drug is similar to Oxycontin and Fentenal...most racing venues are NOT checking for it...it had also been banned for human use everywhere.
In our conversations with these gentleman they were upset... they obviously care for their horses...as Frank mentioned the owner is one (if not

Exceedingly well put...you eloquently stated what we have discussed privately for the past 2-3 years (Frank D. and eloquently used in the same sentence... comments?)
The 'game' has been in significant trouble for years...With the Santa Anita debacle it has now reached it's 'tipping point'. If the big 3 (Stronach/CD/NYRA) don't come to some consensus hor

The forecast is for cloudy today (dreary was the term that the NWS used), clearing on Saturday am...while they have great drainage on the main and and how they sealed the main it wouldn't be if the main track fast by the end of today...HOWEVER...with NO sun today the turf course is a TOTALLY different situation...
It wouldn't surprise me to see a situation similar to the Breeders C

Nero fiddled while Rome burned... perfect summation Frank...as discussed, if sh t like this continues it will drive those folks who wager between $500,000 - 1,000,000 per year (which likely describes > half of this board) out of the game within 5 years. I understand that 'bots' constitute between 20-25% of the handle... BUT...I would estimate that those folks who wager >$500k/year

It's funny... they were considering cancelling yesterday mid-card...from what I was told this morning they were 'a lock' to cancel today... Total mis-management in cancelling that late.
