CHICAGO —
The last six races at Sportsman’s Park on Wednesday were canceled when jockeys refused to ride on the weather-battered track.
Races were canceled after the third race when the jockeys walked out. They refused to comment on their reasons for leaving. Races also were canceled Tuesday after the jockeys walked out.
“I think they just feel that the track was unsafe,” said Scott Hayden, Sportsman’s marketing director.
