Saratoga Handle And Att Decline

I found it:

Despite the article claiming spectacular weather, there were less races taken off this year:

2013
Total Races: 420 Turf Races: 209 Off Turf: 24 (89.7% stayed on)

2012
Total Races: 417 Turf Races: 197 Off Turf: 27 (87.9% stayed on)

2011
Total Races: 398 Turf Races: 158 Off Turf: 41 (79.4% stayed on)

I'm not saying in any way that the meet was good or bad, but to blame the weather on the last day is a BIG reach.
