Obviously extreme weather rightfully warrants cancellation, but if a day’s rain with regular rainfall amounts can affect racing, then maybe SA needs to consider eliminating winter racing and have more running opportunities during the other months.

The San Diego area gets an average of 10" of a rain a year. So 2" of rain is 20% of the yearly total.
The New York City area gets an average of 46" of rain a year. If New York got 20% of the average in one day, or 9.2" of rain, do you think they would run or cancel?
