one side of the coin u wd think must be trying sending it all that way , but i wrecken it has an adverse affect when its as hot as this imo , also think horses need more time between races as they loose more fluid during racing , just takes more time to recover from their exertions , perhaps striding wd be will be able to dig out some facts

he its the stats king

I'd assumed racing horseboxes would be air-conditioned in this day and age. Is that not the case?

You could always use a refrigerated Lorry

Some horses can't run in the heat and flop badly.

horses loos a massive amount of fluids during a race imagine in this heat ? been looking briefly add say 9/10 times during hotter weather the horses who have had say 12 days rest compaired to 5 or 6 days rest normally win
