Two WAYI races canceled

Due to an agreement with Magna's Gulfstream Park, CDI's Calder Racecourse has canceled it's Summit of Speed card. This effects the Breeders' Cup Win and You're In (WAYI) races due to the fact that two of them the G2 Princess Rooney and G2 Smile where qualifiers for the Filly and Mare Sprint and Sprint respectively.

The Smile has produced 2 Sprint winners (2002 Orientate and 2010 Big Drama), while the Princess Rooney has had one F/M Sprint winner (2011 BC winner Musical Romance) win the former G1 race (she won in 2012).

Unless Gulfstream decides to pick these races, then they will not be run this year. For now I will keep them on the WAYI schedule and remove them closer to what would have been the scheduled raceway (in case if they do get picked up Gulfstream, but which is doubtful IMO).

9:19 Update: Looks like Gulfstream will indeed pickup some (maybe all) of Summit of Speed races. Great news about that.
