What's the huge problem TO YOU with waiting until the last minute? If anything, it's the horsemen who would/should be more pissed about the last minute thing, as they are prepping their horses for raceday.
I understand that you as a fan/bettor will be inconvenienced with a last minute cancellation, but I would rather they take all available info into consideration before cancelling than act like your run-of-the-mill racino and cancel at the drop of a hat.

The main reason is that horses are treated with Lasix and some horses are vanned in at a cost to the owners among other things.
Did not Belmont announce the day before and cancel on Thurs June 21 for this same reason of excessive heat?
As a fan it does not inconvenience me at all, I have 20 other tracks left to play plus some great harness at night this Saturday.
It was the same weathermen that gave the forecast for Thurs. June 21.
