Laurel cancels Saturday card
Laurel Park has canceled its Saturday card due to problems with its track caused by changing weather.
“With the temperature going from the single digits early in the week to nearly 60 today, the track has been freezing, thawing and freezing again,” said Maryland Jockey Club director of racing Georganne Hale in a release on Saturday. “The combination of the freezing and the moisture are the contributing factors. We couldn’t even get a piece of equipment out on the track. They were just sinking.”
Laurel and Pimlico will be open for simulcasting on Saturday. Live racing is scheduled to resume Wednesday, with a 12:35 p.m. Eastern post time.
