At least CD gave the bettors plenty of notice.

If this weather moves eastward, what is the likelihood Belmont cancels Friday?
Race: +125
Cancel: -135

Not until they change their ways.

Its good they canceled. Racing in that type of heat is just stupid, don't care if it's dumb before. Three digit figures is nothing to mess around with for animal or human.

As a bettor, it's very reassuring to know Goren won't stop until NYRA changes their ways. Finally, someone with the knowledge, expertise and experience to lead us bettors towards a new day.

I currently am betting Belmont and CD. I still feel the same about the CD announcer as I did back then, so I turn off the sound during running of their races. As I have said I am a very small bettor. Belmont for its faults, still has a one of best takeouts for win bettors like me. I will probably bet Saratoga although I do not bet turf races. I will bet Ellis when it starts. Right now I do not bet plastic dirt. I like to have 2 tracks going. So after Ellis I do not know where I will go. I would like to find a major or second level dirt track that didn't run as many turf races as Saratoga.

You can search my posts if you really want to know. I am not bashful about when it comes to posting what I see as problems. On the heat issue, I just want them to be upfront about when and why they will cancel. In other words just treat their bettors with a little respect. We will see if NYRA will cancel if the heat comes back this Sat and Sun as is forecast.
