Imagine the folks who handicapped the carryover, woke up and went to mass, got home , watched the 3 stooges and were ready for racing from Belmont Park only to find out that it was gonna rain and be windy so there was no racing. Winter racing is gonna be fun.

Winter racing at Aqueduct this year (2017-2018) will probably be better than any of the last 20+ years now that everything will be run on the newly designed main track. Dirt distances including 6.5f and 7f are now in play along with one turn miles.

As for having handicapped a whole program, you can reuse the stakes for next weekend. But sure, let's throw some horses and jockeys on the track moving at 35mph into wind gusts of 40mph. That is not being a fan of the sport.
