Weather playing havoc in Southern Cal and the protesters are gaining troops. The concern is growing over the perceived track conditions with 20 fatalities in the past two months....I hope this gets turned around quickly

Cancelled indefinitely, now.

"Ritvo said racing will not be held this weekend, and declined to speculate on a date of resumption."

Hmm. Has this ever happened before? What does that mean for Improbable and Game Winner?

Wow it was necessary but man the San Felipe horses got to be scrambling. Can’t wait to hear what Steve is hearing for those horses. Assume too late to ship for Tampa and Gotham. Looks like rebel may be packed next week

Game Winner has 30 points already. I think he should just prep for one of the 100 point races. If he finishes 2nd or 3rd, he ends up with 70 or 50 points and he’s still set for the derby.

It’s a little tougher for Improbable who only has 10 points and less margin for error. Maybe they rush him to something like the Rebel.

Would you really want to go straight to the Derby off 1 start though? I gotta think they'll either wait for the redraw or go to the Rebel.

Oaklawn officials are talking about splitting the race into two divisions.

I thought I read this morning that it was a done deal.
