While I understand the horseplayers position, delays in running the races can and will affect a horses performance. Just take lasix for example. Lasix is administered at a pre-determined timeframe prior to a race. If this timeframe is extended by 30-45 minutes the affects of lasix WILL diminish and performance WILL be impacted. Racing 45 minutes after post may in fact work against the horseplayer.
I see the decisions made today as appropriate and fair to all parties.
