Oh yes, and nobody was aware of the weather.

NYRA itself acknowledges that their decision was based in part because of the weather, in part because of the hospital issue.

The jockeys only had one reason to not ride, the hospital issue. There would have been no racing at AQU if the weather was 70 and sunny without the hospital issue being resolved.
