Default WTF? 6th at GP off the TURF at the last minute

Talk about BUSH LEAGUE. Firm turf and this race is taken off without much notice. Anyone know exactly when the decision was made?

2 minutes to post if you are watching the races via HRTV.

It's all part of Frank's new paradigm. Keeps the bettors on their toes.

They should run this dreadful upcoming 7th on Hallandale Beach Blvd.

Magna can suck my ass! I will never make another wager on a track they own. Good work on Santa Anita too. They ripped me off today. Plain and simple.

I ended up calling an audible and taking a small stab with a 55/1 shot in the race - it looked like he might win at the 3/8ths pole - than he hung like a Mark Hendrickson curveball in the stretch and plugged home 4th.
