Can you imagine how bad that place would smell?

We have covered arenas in jumping (the smell isn't that awful, but it's not completely enclosed), but it's no where near that size... I can't imagine how much money that would entail to enclose that sort of acreage. Racing certainly doesn't generate the kind of cash flow that it would take to do that IMO.

When the races are called off its by majority vote in the jocks room , so if there are 20 jocks riding that day and all but two vote to cancel well the two that voted to ride are overruled. Johnny V is just the guy who relays the message , he is not the one who decides for the whole room.

Definitely cancel then.

Filly can ride with the best of them.

I don't care either way whether they cancel or not. It seems as time goes on they are more apt to cancel this day and age. What does surprise me is even though we have pages and pages on this forum dedicated to horses that have broken down or expired well before their time, there are people who question the closing of a track due to unsafe conditions. You can't have it both ways.

Yes, and if you don't think the less experienced guys are often bullied by the " names " then I have a bridge I want to sell you.

That best not be the "Brooklyn" Bridge, because I BOUGHT that one many years ago. It's mine, and if you try to sell it, you'll be hearing from my attorney, A Chaser & Ass.

I see what you are saying but that really isnt how it goes , its done by vote a raise of hands , and what it comes down to is that the two can choose to ride but who is going to ride the other 8 to ten horses in the race?

We'll have to agree to disagree.
