 "Calder North"......Saratoga, has 5 Maiden races on the program today.

Sunday:  July 20, 1:10 P.M. EST

It was just announced on TVG that NYRA has cancelled the races today at Belmont.........because the air conditioning is not working in the Jockeys' room or any of the executive offices.   I recall so many days at Saratoga with the temperatures in the upper 90's and with high humidity.  On such days, the P.A. system would repeatedly state:  "A reminder to all gentlemen; jackets must be worn at all times in the Clubhouse.".....AND, the clubhouse was, and still is, as far as I know, not air-conditioned.
