Better chance of you dating the "real" Lisa Guerrero than a cancellation of opening day to run next Tuesday.

I agree but if they did cancel downtown Saratoga would sure smile.....35k people that would be at the racetrack that would be spending money in town
Opening day or not if it's too hot cancel the card,....would rather read about people steaming about not betting then reading about horses overheating and dying or whatever can happen to them in extreme heat
Be prepared for mth canceling tnrw.....or lots of 3 horse fields....ya know a 6 horse field scratched down to 3......sad part was I was gonna take a trip tnrw

They'll run 1 race,.....have a 45 minute "delay" to sell ice cold Beer and not ice cold exactas while "milling/mulling/mullins over" whether they should cancel or not, than announce: come back tomorrow for "opening day" as "today" is cancelled.
Lets hope they find a way to get the races in, i could use the money.

Oh come on...the forecast high is 94 tomorrow for Saratoga...when was the last time a track cancelled in the summer because it was 94 degrees out?
They'll have the hoses and buckets of water out for the horses after they cross the finish line. All will be well...

I am surprised Delaware has no canceled. That track has more excessive heat cancellations than any other track..That I know of.
\As of 2PM EDT...Wilmington Int'l Airport which is close to Delaware Park had a Temp of 94 ..Heat Index 106

NYRA doesnt seem "hardy" or "hearty" they cancel at drops of hats. They're not "we race no matter what" type of organization. its ok though, to each his own.

Belmont last June, I believe.
While it was hot at Saratoga today, the humidity wasn't off the charts like it is sometimes.

Wasn't it two years ago, and the AC was out as well?
And the last day of the meet?

That's a bit of a different story if the AC was out...the jocks room, for one, with no AC would be unbearable...
But, I don't think any track would cancel simply because it was 94 out...94 isn't all THAT hot...94 is expected in the summertime....that's all I was trying to say...
