Default Fri am So. Florida update... CDI blames horsemen

Fridays Sun-Sentinel:

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/h...,3748372.story

from the article:

(Calder President Ken) Dunn is concerned that disgruntled racing fans, who come to the track expecting to bet the Derby, will vent their wrath at the track. "People aren't going to understand it's the horsemen doing this. We'll bear the brunt of it."

also from the article:

Dunn said the track plans to have a phone message hotline (305-625-1311) on Friday and Saturday to inform fans if there has been any change, which will allow simulcasts of Churchill's races.

I called the hotline. They are not taking any of the races on Fri or Sat. The hotline blames Kentucky horsemen.
