This has been the worst summer in my memory in terms of heat-related cancellations.
Most likely due to two things other than the obvious (the heat!):
1) Racinos and their willingness to cancel should someone light a match off in the distance
2) Racing's shattered image and the unwillingness of today's track management to take even the slightest risk that running may endanger the lives of horses because of the heat (this is a good thing of course)
