Laurel Cancels Final Six Races Friday Due to High Winds
Saturday’s Nine-Race Program Begins at 12:30 P.M.
LAUREL, MD – High winds forced the Maryland Jockey Club to cancel the final six races of Friday’s card at Laurel Park.
Management made the decision to cancel prior to the fourth race, which marked the start of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 sequence. The popular multi-race wager will have a jackpot carryover of $2,045 for Saturday.
“We have a cold front moving through that saw our temperatures drop from 60 degrees to 14 degrees with the wind chill,” MJC President and General Manager Sal Sinatra said. “We felt it was in the best interests of our horses and horsemen to cancel our remaining races.”
Laurel returns with a nine-race program Saturday, Feb. 3. First-race post time is 12:30 p.m., and the Rainbow 6 will begin in Race 4 (2 p.m.).
