5 horses eased, 2 races Aqu-shuts down today

Seems justified. The horse comes first.

I see that Dynergy was one of those eased... I liked that horse. Hope he's OK.

Funny, I saw the topic and knew who authored the thread.

Myself, I tend not to take jockey's opinions at face value. But I'm crazy that way.

Then again, John Velasquez didn't ride either of the first two races, so his opinion carries even more weight for me.

Slop is apparently too dangerous these days. It could be a long, boring winter if this crap continues.

too sloppy, too windy, too cold, too hot.

is it just me or does it seem like some of our jockey colonies are getting more and more finicky?

they may be finicky, but they risk there lives on a daily basis. Its a dangerous sport and taking precautions sometimes isn't always wrong.

Ny should lay down a synthetic then we wouldnt have to worry about horses being eased and not handling the slop, or the jockeys crying. They could be eased and vanned like horses have been the last 3 days on the "Mad Genius" surface out in Northern Cal.

This is excuse doesn't work. They willingly accepted a job where this is a precondition.
