Race 1 last night was cancelled due to a jockeys protest over the condition of the turf, even though no turf races were on the card. Woodbine apparently has agreed to run all races on the main track through at least Sunday.

thanks for the heads-up

Going to be interesting at Woodbine and the NY/mid-atlantic...

Got a little bit of snow on my car this morning in Maryland!

sunny Florida and out West are looking better and better this time of year

thought it was idiotic the past few weekends that they have been carding turf races with the weather and temperatures. then last sunday they run one turf race and pull the rest of them which sucks for the horizontal wager players. i appreciate the heads up, will make the advanced handicapping a lot easier.

Woodbine management and the jockey colony are still at odds whether to continue turf racing:
