Pussies!  ngc3

Look at Mohawk, such a bad blizzard and much windier and colder, feels like 20 below in the sulky...no can see, the announcer says around the far turn eh eh eh your guess is as good as mine!  ngc3

They cheat but they've got big frozen balls!  ;D

Probably was the driver's decision to cancel. Who's the driver's representative?

Agree 1 in is no reason. If not drivers decision then maybe track conditions? Who knows with that place.

I also believe they did it that way so all officials get paid for the night. They probably knew all day they're going to cancel.

The USTA website said the cancellation was due to track conditions. Should they have known that in advance, probably, but maybe they couldn't tell by just grading the track, but when the horses scored down it may have been icy in spots and they chose not to race, who really knows?

 I have been in the Dover Area and had 8 inches and didn't cancel, I had no issues at all.

The temp rose sharply. went from freezing to high 50's and sunny in a matter of an hour. Frost came through. Tough to handle.

No it didn’t.  High yesterday was 38 or so.  Crazy they canceled.
