Turfway Park cancels Saturday card
Posted: Saturday, January 31, 2009 3:30 PM
Turfway Park canceled live racing on Saturday as cold weather overnight combined with lingering ice and snow created clods on the racing surface.
The $50,000 WEBN Stakes will be rescheduled for February 7. Nominations for the race will close on February 3.
"The surface could not be ready in time for racing despite delaying post time by an hour, and if we can't make the surface safe for our riders and horses, we won't run,” said Robert Elliston, president of Turfway Park.
Simulcasting will remain open on Saturday and live racing is scheduled to resume Sunday with a first post time of noon EST.
