Fans all know, trainers all know, no Lasix shots, crews can go home for afternoon, all racing people can stay home. Good decision and done well today.

No mention of how the weather didn’t get bad till after the card would have been over. They blew it completely by listening to erroneous weather forecast. No reason they couldn’t have run, but no one acknowledged this.

It’s funny how they could just move a whole pool of money to a different track ...but the breeders cup can’t have a low takeout pick 5 on 5 breeders cup races.

If you told this stuff to a mule, he’d kick you.

The weather was crazy on Long Island from 3:30pm onwards with winds in excess of 40 mph. I know - I was there. Gusts which are unpredictable were in excess of 50 mph towards New York City and 65+ mph over Suffolk County. The New York Gaming Commission authorized the carryover move to Aqueduct. The Breeder's Cup has nothing to do with this. Cannot understand why you are having such a difficult time with this.

I live here not in Alabama or whatever state you live in. The weather was horrid and by 2pm it was blowing hard and pouring. Go check the Songbird photo again. She sells in a few days and I am sure they would really like your input

They should never cancel racing until at least three jockeys have been blown off the horses, and at least one them drowns on the track.

Parx in Philadelphia ran with same weather ....no drownings reported. Rhymes with Donk
