This is at least the 2nd time they've pulled this stunt. The place is hopeless.

Oh, I agree.. I was simply stating that they can't control weather.

I was talking to a friend of mine before the 8th and he liked a horse in the last race, but was afraid they may take it off the turf, so he didn't play the P3. That's when I said to him to look at the clouds and any imbecile can see it is going to rain for a while. Plus with weather technology the way it is, they certainly knew it was coming. Like you said, they should have made the call before the 7th. Unfortunately the rules in New York don't apply in Fla., but they should change it so it does
