There is no temperature, they just go by what the jockeys and trainers feel is ok. Usually it is more dew point than temperature though, which takes into account the humidity. Anything over 110 is virtually impossible to race in.

LaD has always raced during te summer and I dont rmember them ever canceling. I know a lot of trainer used to refuse to ship in for some of there larger stakes races because of the heat.

sometimes it's the heat over a period of days that wears everbody down and causes a cancellation.
