Due to extreme weather conditions that are anticipated over the next several days in southeastern Louisiana, officials at the Fair Grounds have announced that the nine-race program originally scheduled for this Thursday, Jan. 23 will be moved to next Monday, Jan. 27.
The next scheduled card will now take place on Friday, Jan. 24, with racing to continue Saturday, Sunday and now Monday with a first post time of 12:45 p.m. Central time.
Wintry weather on the eastern seaboard resulted in the cancellation of live racing Monday and Tuesday at Parx just outside of Philadelphia, while officials at Oaklawn Park took pre-emptive action late last week and canceled Monday's holiday program at the Hot Springs oval. An extra day of racing has been added on Jan. 30 to help make up for the lost days of racing during the current month.
