Monmouth cancelled Sunday card.......because of the potential for extreme heat.
I have zero respect for Monmouth officials, and zero respect for trainers/owners for having run this race (esp not so that Mr. West could be presented a trophy by one of Mr. West's attorneys, no less.)
If this Maximum Security had not been disqualed in the KY Derby none of this would even be taking place. Any other stakes race w/out this horse in it would have been postponed and cancelled.
Instead, racing is cancelled for tomorrow, because of "potential" for extreme heat, which we already HAD today, it wasn't potential, it was actually happaning............but hey, they got their trophy now.
It's absurd. I really like the horse. I feel bad that he got stuck having to prove himself in such ridiculous and wrong circumstances.
