I was told the Meadowlands wanted to go, but Mark put his foot down!

Haven’t seen Mark in a few years. I plan on having lunch with him and Steve.

If FATSO is a Republican please do not share this tidbit with John Moody.

Track weather, air quality cancellations are apparently reserved decisions made by liberal pussies ruining all our lives.

While I agree with you premise and think they should have raced........

Tell me what would happen if they did race and a horse went down on the track.

SCM & the anti-Meadowlands crowd would roast Gural and Settlemoir for being GREEDY and not caring about the horses & drivers!

That was an act of sarcasm by me.

If cancelling is the correct safe thing, excellent.

BTW I'm not left right red or blue.  I work with whomever, and hope they collectively don't get us killed, nice stuff preferred  tmbz1

It's a continuation from my response to (plop's) John Moody in the Track Cancellation" thread I started the other day.

you’re obviously not a horsemen. Don’t listen to the bullshit spewed by the losers on here. Mark it’s not only a farm owner, but the president of the SBOA as well as an elected official with the USTA. Stop listening to the loser that got thrown off his farm.

I know exactly who Mark Ford is and was being sarcastic.

It will be just as hot tomorrow. Will they cancel with all the six figure stakes on the card?
