I say either do it like NYRA did recently, announcing the day before, or even 2 days before, or wait til the $hit weather ACTUALLY happens. Hawthorne made a big mistake today. The used the local weatherman as "handicappers" and took a bad beat. A severe winter storm was predicted, and Hawthorne mgmt cancelled Thursday's card at 10 am. Now, about 5 hours later, the snow hasn't come, the rain hasn't come and its not particularly windy. So a decent, bettable card gets tossed into the trash heap.
