Colonial Downs Racetrack has pushed its Festival of Racing, which includes the GI Arlington Million, back a day after it was originally scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 10, the track said in a Wednesday release.
The decision to switch the card to Sunday, Aug. 11 was made after confirmation from weather experts that heavy rain caused by Tropical Storm Debby would hit the Tidewater by the end of the week. While most of the conditions are expected to clear the area by Saturday, safety is the highest priority.
Gates will open for the Festival of Racing on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. ET with the first post set for 1 p.m. ET. General admission and parking are free and all previously purchased tickets will be honored.
