Race horses can't be trained very safely in the heat, humidity and direct sun of late morning and afternoon.

That is why they are trained in the cool of the dawn and early morning hours.

It's not because all racetrackers love getting up at 4-freakin'-am every day of their lives; nor because afternoon racing is more important, leaving only the morning to train.
