Turns out there were only four scratched? I was watching TVG streaming and got confused when they showed exacta will pays.

Questionable decision making considering the forecast was not news.

Total... TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT... They knew what they were getting 4 days ago and to have this mess is 100% total ignorance and incompetence...

What a f****** joke.

Are the grandstands even air conditioned? This is not where I’d choose to spend my Saturday. This calls for free beer for all!

Looks like the track, horsemen and jocks all wanted to run. Overruled by the Racing Commission.

Exactly what happened... My question is why didn\'t the commission think about this two days ago?

Don’t know but they’ve baked one hell of an ugly day. Not much left of the card after the cancelations and all of the scratches.
