I was out of there by the time that race came. Tuesday is 2-for-1 wing night at the bar.
They said it was for "safety reasons" on the TV... so, I assume it must have been a problem with the track because the weather was great .. no lightening.
The track has been crazy this meet. Very early in the meet - maiden claimers would go 21 and change - 44 flat - 1:08 and change for 6fs. It was just insanely fast. In a supposed effort to make the track "less speed favoring" - they have tried to slow it down more and more ... which has only made it way more speed favoring. Now you're starting to see 53 and change halfs in route races. A few trainers are complaining they want the track this way - a few others want it a different way.
I'll find out - but I would think it had to do with the track.
