The jockeys may not have cancelled the performace, but they were not going to ride.

NYRA made the decision to cancel, in part because of the weather, but if the jocks aren't going to ride the weather is irrelevant.

I suppose that works both ways, but it was not a weather decision alone on NYRA's part.

The jockeys refusal to ride was not based on weather or track conditions. It was based purely on the hospital issue.
