I remember it happening at Saratoga one summer. Its was brutally hot. I dont feel bad for you guys in the north though. Its been upper 90's the past week or two here.

I bet it was hotter than today on Belmont day 2008, though obviously Belmont day is a much bigger racing day than just a random Thursday Belmont card.

That day was freakishly hot, Belmont was steaming. The humidity made the second floor grandstand concourses a hazard. It was like, 75 the day before too. Woke up and thought they were joking on TV about what a steamer it was going to be...

Of course, there was the bathroom meltdown too.
