Years ago....they would race and try to at least get the Daily Double in ( Races 1 and 2 ) ..then the jockeys would make a commit on the weather conditions....and what not...
Now.. with the Receiving Barn in the picture and Race 1 horses must be there by 7 AM, they have to go with what they have knowledge of....
I believe the overnight forecast called for upwards of 5 inches of snow in the City...
Either way NYRA pulled the plug early on Live racing.
