The makers also foget to mention that racing was canceled in Britain this winter when the temps went below freezing because of it balling up and coming back like frozen grapefruits. Makes me think of when I used to ride at Waterford Park ( now Mountaineer) and the frozen dirt clods would just pulvarize you , break your nose , bust your lip open and chip your teeth.
Most trainers would run their horses in screens to try and save their eyes from being put out .
Should we really be running horses when its below freezing anyway ?
