SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- The final six races of Saturdays card at Saratoga were canceled after the jockeys refused to ride, citing unsafe track conditions.Rain began shortly after 2 p.m. Eastern, and over the next hour, 0.66 inches fell, according to New York Racing Association management, making for an extremely sloppy main track. The fourth race, run on the turf, was delayed 14 minutes while rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning, went through the area.After the fifth race, the jockeys met as a group and informed management that they would not ride the remainder of the card.We lost the track, its as simple as that, said John Velazquez, who won the fifth race on the 2-year-old Thirst for Victory. It rained, we lost the track, its unsafe.Velazquez said the jockeys met with management -- Martin Panza, the senior vice president of racing operations, and Glen Kozak, vice president/facilities and racing surfaces. The jocks were asked for some time for the maintenance crew to continue to work on the surface.Glen came in and talked to us to try and buy some time, Velazquez said. We decided that theres no way in a half-hour they could get the track good again. Theres so much water on the track, no matter what part of the track you go, its unsafe. Its not fair to the horses or us to be out there and find a spot where its comfortable enough to ride the horses.Jockey Manny Franco, who finished second in the fifth race on Adulation, said, The track was horrible. Too much water. It was unsafe for the horses and for us.Panza said that NYRAs weather service predicted that the rain wasnt going to come until 6 p.m.This is not something they projected, Panza said.Panza was naturally frustrated to lose half a Saturday program.I dont think any track wants to cancel a Saturday card, he said. Its not something you want to have happen.The Grade 1, $500,000 Fourstardave will be rescheduled for next Saturday. It will be open to original nominees and will be redrawn Wednesday. The Grade 2, $200,000 Adirondack, for 2-year-old fillies, will be brought back Friday.
