TVG just reported that they are racing, but most of the races will be at 5 1/2 furlongs. There are a ton of scratches. It is just ridiculous.

Supposedly, there is a bad spot at the 3/4's pole or something, that is what Ron Charles said in an interview in the DRF I think, not sure, that or Thoroughbred Times

Why even bother running? Risking the horses is lunacy
