As horseplayers, we’re accustomed to rolling with the punches. Sure, the pandemic was disruptive, but the industry proved its resiliency over the past year.
So, while it’s been a difficult week weather-wise and many tracks were forced to cancel, there will be plenty of racing this weekend. And as always, we’ve got you covered.
But seriously, snow in Saudi Arabia?!
