If the heat wave continues, CD will cancel no matter what the day.

Run under the lights!
Good call on the cancellations, imo.
Horses should come first, just schedule a "snow day" as it were.

I believe that Saturday is a "Downs after Dark" day. Post time 6 pm local time. right in the hottest part of the day. I am sure that by the time last race is run, it be 5-10 degrees cooler.

they're saying it will get up to 102 in Chicago tomorrow.
I'm guessing they won't run at Arlington either.

I don't recall Arlington ever cancelling. I remember some 100 plus days in 1995 and they didn't cancel then.
