Whether or not the riders would have ridden Sunday had NYRA not cancelled the card is pure speculation.

Well, I didn't exactly say that racing was cancelled sunday because the jockeys refused to ride. I said the jockeys refused to ride. I did not speculate on why racing was cancelled, or who cancelled it.
I'm new here, so I'm a little unaware of how informed the forum in general was regarding the hospital issue, which would be the only obstacle to racing on Wednesday.
I also probably misinterpreted your initial post that hinted that the only reason not to run Wendnesday would be weather related. This is why I brought up the hospital issue in the first place.
