Oaklawn has a sandy based soil on the track. And trust you me if you were from the South you'd know this already. Snow shuts the place down. I mean people leave work early and they make a mad dash for the Super Market. I worked at a market growing up and when the radio said there's a chance for snow, just a chance, man we were swamped for days. I think the people who owned stores paid the weatherman off to boost sales.

"I don't think FG or GP has ever had to reschedule a 3YO stakes race. OP, maybe--they do get snow and frozen tracks occasionally."

Folks this really sucks. Here you've got a staff who really wants to give the public the best racing in America. Their resume bears that out. Hang in there please
