Delaware Park cancels Tuesday’s card
Posted: Monday, August 06, 2007 6:07 PM
Tuesday’s live racing card at Delaware Park was canceled due to extreme heat.
This action was taken on the advice of the Delaware Thoroughbred Racing Commission’s supervising veterinarian, John T. Peters, D.V.M., who said the high heat and humidity posed a threat to the health and safety of jockeys and horses. Weather reports predicted a heat index in the 100 to 105 range.
Racing is expected to resume Wednesday with post time at 12:45 p.m. EDT.
