Laurel Park Cancels Friday’s Nine-Race Program

Racing Scheduled to Return Saturday with Three Stakes

BALTIMORE – The Maryland Jockey Club canceled Friday’s nine-race program at Laurel Park prior to the opener after speaking with jockeys who expressed concerns about riding over the main track.

Following the cancellation, track officials were in the process of further evaluating the racing surface.

Laurel is scheduled to host a nine-race program Saturday with three $100,000 stakes – the 6 ½-furlong Willa On the Move for fillies and mares 3 and older, and six-furlong Dave’s Friend and 1 1/8-mile Richard W. Small for 3-year-olds and up.

First race post time is 12:25 p.m.
