Cancellations are a possibility there at any point in January.

Racing Cancellations, Post Here!

The prediction is for cold and windy, with wind chills as low as -2F.

My thought is a cancellation is very likely.

High temp of 26 both Thursday and Friday, with 30+ mph winds on Thursday, and 3 inches of snow possible on Friday.

I've seen NYRA cancel Aqueduct due to extreme cold before.

Now that they have slot money, it does not take much of a weather problem to cancel.

Not true at all.

I often wonder what it is about the four letters N Y R A that seems to make people need to completely fabricate things and then act like they are facts. In your 13 posts you have two completely made up assertions about NYRA.

If nothing else, the heat last summer proved one thing. NYRA had no problem canceling a wed or thur, but they won't cancel a sat. No matter what the defenders of NYRA say, the canceled dates tell the story.

The SATURDAY 12/29 card was cancelled. But, you've never let facts get in your way.

He's like a dog that responds to a special whistle....the whistle being me trying to explain away another lie about NYRA. However, in the dog's case, he comes to his owner. In Robert's case he runs head first into a wall.

the last in the world that a horse track that has slots wants to see is horse racing cancelled. the days that horse racing goes on, the slot machine handles goes up. not just in New York, but all over. Parx is trying to get more racing dates so they can keep their slot machines cranking full strength.

They look for excuses to cancel so that the trainers and owners can spend the day at the slots, which is why they are REALLY there in the first place.

Sure, why not? If they cancel, you can make mind bets or even get them in through Manti T'eo's book.
