I’m afraid this will be happening more and more this year, and at many tracks.

I am glad they are taking the necessary precautions for the horses, jockeys, race staff, owners, trainers etc… This is a great way to advocate for the horse’s wellbeing in general. Heat stress and stroke is a HUGE risk when it gets this hot.
Hopefully it doesn’t effect owners/trainers schedules too much, but I think this is extremely appropriate.

Cancelling the card due to heat is appropriate and it’s nothing new, it’s been done in the past.
The point being, that climate change is poised to have a very detrimental affect on racing.

I’m confused as to why you assumed I thought this was a new thing. Nothing in my comment says or implies that. What made you take offense and respond in such a negative way?
To reiterate, I expressed my gratitude for the industry advocating for the horse, staff, jockeys etc. and expressed the opinion that I thought it was appropriate for the circumstances. I even expressed my concern for owners/trainers schedules as this could have an affect on income for them. None of that seems offensive, nor did it warrant a comment like yours. 
I’m sorry, I didn’t intend to be negative towards you. I’m rather concerned and negative about climate change.
