I am not a horseman, although I did ride a pony once as a kid - so please be kind when answering my question.
Thoroughbreds never seem to race when temperatures drop down into the twenties, how is it not a problem for standardbreds? Are harness horses more adaptable to winter weather or is it the difference between flat racing and harness racing - or something else? REMEMBER BE NICE ......I repeat - I am NOT a horseman, I am a HORSE PLAYER (one of the few left, I might add!)
Harness horsemen are too broke and desperate to miss a week or two of racing because of weather and because of this, horses are forced to race in extreme weather conditions. I promise you, you are not doing your horse any favors when racing in temperatures below 10F. Injury because of track condition is a possibility but even more of a risk is damage done to horse's lungs.

This horse and his connections has been discussed and criticized [perhaps rightfully so ] on here a lot but gets a win first off the bench in 1:56.3 at Miami for Purple Jesus after a winless campaign last year. And yes it was cold East coast pussies.

Anticipated temp for post time on Sunday in East Rutherford is 21 degrees. They raced last Saturday night in the low teens. I hate conspiracy theories, and I hope I'm wrong, but don't be surprised if the purse money saved from the loss of these "cheaper horse" cards, wind up as higher purses in the spring and summer when the bigger stables - the usual suspects - are more involved. Money goes to money...
that is extremely plausible, if not true....

Hey Plop,
I just wanted to say f**k everyone who is talking behind my back. If you want to come find me I’ll be at the track sitting in the grandstand stealing money from the gamblers who come since I can’t take it from the horseman anymore.

There must be some other form of motivation as to why they would cxl simply because of old temps. What about the owners that pay big bucks for the upkeep of their horses that need to race to stay in the game? Show/ice is a reason to cxl to keep all parties safe but cold temps makes no sense.
A poor decision by the gm.

I'm not blaming the track. Horseman's organizations primarily represent the blue bloods interests. Money goes to money...
