Its more cause the horses are used to it. They train in it every day. Same with Calder.

Up here it is normally in the low 80's, and when it gets this, 100 degrees, with 100% humidity, it isn't good for them.

Woodbine just cancelled, Arlington will do it after one or two races. It sucks because we are live today and should run a huge race even with the anchor we have aboard.

We ran a few weeks ago when it was high into the 100's, not to mention the humidity and the sun beaming down on you. My car said 108 after it dropped from 113 when I first got in.

No one is used to that heat... but we shorten our post parades by 4 mins or so and use lots of water.
