NYRA made the decision to cancel, in part because of the weather, but if the jocks aren't going to ride the weather is irrelevant.

I suppose that works both ways, but it was not a weather decision alone on NYRA's part.

The jockeys refusal to ride was not based on weather or track conditions. It was based purely on the hospital issue.
We are well aware of the hospital issue, and it has been discussed at length on this board and ATRAB, but the Sunday card was NOT cancelled because the riders refused to ride, as you stated. The jockeys were not involved in the decision to cancel the Sunday card.
