I've noticed Racino tracks cancel more these days than in yrs past. Yonkers used to run in a foot of snow. Now a flake falls and they cancel. How does that work? Is there a financial reason the casinos do this? Or do they just not give a rats ass about the horsemen?

I can certainly appreciate driver's not wanting to race if safety is at risk.

Not only was there extremely heavy rain and winds, keep in mind that thunder and lightning scares the horses and creates dangerous situations.
And don't forget the tornado watch we had that actually touched down in two local areas last night.
Kudos to the Pocono team who made a very wise decision.

ive heard many stories form older folk of horses that have been hit by lightening while on the racetrack at Roosevelt and some other spots

Back in the day horses wore metal head numbers

Lightning would hit the number and electrocute them

I got caught on the track warming up on night at Brandywine when a storm hit and got reamed by everyone

Never happened again

Had one in the 5th at Pocono after the cancelation and have no problem with the judges decision
