Weather forces Fair Grounds cancellation

Posted: Thursday, December 11, 2008 11:54 AM

Fair Grounds canceled its live racing program on Thursday because of winter weather and track conditions.

Snow began falling on Thursday morning in the metro New Orleans area, which is under a winter storm warning.

“Safety, both for equine and humans, is always going to take first priority,” Fair Grounds President Austin Miller said.

The cancellation has no effect on Fair Grounds’s OTB operation, which was scheduled to continue throughout the day, including at Fair Grounds. The track’s slots facility also remained open.

The cancellation was the track's first winter weather cancellation since 1989.

Fair Grounds racing secretary Jason Boulet said Thursday’s canceled races would be brought back as extra races beginning on December 18, with horses entered Thursday receiving priority. In addition, the track will offer 11-race cards from December 18-22 to make up for Thursday’s canceled races.
