Post by: KING HAKU on January 22, 2025, 10:20:27 AM: Did they actually cancel for the benefit of the horses or their pocketbook?

Pretty dumb statement.
They would have done a brisk business if they raced today.
PS-the Meadows cancelled too.

my guess it is more of a racing surface issue than the cold temps

in the past-we have seen a few Monti cards cancelled due to the track surface--at Dover that doesn't seem to be the case--only several inches of snow makes them cancel if I am not mistaken

Thats on Faraldo and company blantant incompetence. Much like when they turned off the signal all while collecting tons of lawyer fees.
