The move comes following a public outcry over the choice to run the horses in intense heat with temperatures expected to feel like 110 degrees during the mid afternoon hours.

At 2:30 pm ET, the temperature had reached 98 degrees with a "feels like" temperature around the 110 degree mark.

The temperature at the start of the Haskell Invitational was expected to be just below the 90 degree mark.

Now my question is,what is @NBCSports going to do about showing the Haskell? https://t.co/tM6GtABBdN
