No air conditioning in CASA FATMAN either.

Not like the jocks don't need to sweat off some pounds.

i suspect if they had these same issues on opening day they'd find a way to buck up and get through it.

Default Cancelled

more like a lack of interest....
Probably everyone is already thinking about the SPA.....Gives everyone a day jump to head north

Guess the few who showed up at the track were inconvenienced ....

The spa excuse doesn't fly. They waited until the last minute to cancel.

Next thing these jockeys will demand is heat in their rooms at the winter Big A meet.....the nerve of these guys. What the hell did they do BEFORE that rat trap of a Belmont jock room had AC?

Default I was there on Sat... just as hot.....

they let everyone into the clubhouse for free since they had no power in the grandstand area. I would have been pissed if I had driven 2+ hours only to find it closed. I guess it could have gotten completely unlivable in the jockey area.... it was really too humid to live in the northeast today

Nice critique of the situation, and the meet in general, by the NYDailyNews http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/mo...the_races.html
