Title: Big M cxl’s Friday, races Saturday
Post by: Lar4400 on July 05, 2026, 02:09:20 PM

Same exact conditions on Saturday but Mark Fords concern for the horses changes overnight.
Anything to do with pissing off the big gun drivers including a few Canucks that came down for the races on Saturday?
Give me a break… concern for horses? Crap on the little guys in the game including the owners that race for the small purses with very few even paying their own way.
Another reason the game is in huge trouble. It’s always about the $$ now isn’t it…

Short of the track being flooded out, they were never going to cancel on Saturday and decided that before they cancelled on Friday.

I guess Ford's 'Concern for the horses' vary from night to night. ;D

There’s a weather station in the paddock parking lot that measures the heat index. Until or unless it drops below a certain degree they can’t race that’s why there was delay in the start last night. MF has NO say.

Not surprised. Was referring to an earlier thread from one of the misfits.
