Why PCD Cancelled?

[Equus Caballus]

I cant swim

Me neither

But I float
So all good

Go rake the living room

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.
 

[MR.DALRAE]

ARE YOU STILL BANNED FROM PACERS???

[John1417]

Never been.
I don’t see you there very often.
Run out of green ?

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

Thank you!
