Weather woes continue to plague Oaklawn Park, which is cancelling the Monday, Jan. 20 card in advance due to the forecast of freezing temperatures, according to an update from officials at the Hot Springs track. The race card originally slated for Jan. 20–Martin Luther King, Jr. Day–has been rescheduled to Thursday, Jan. 23. A four-day racing weekend is anticipated at Oaklawn with the addition of Jan. 23, highlighted by the $1-million GIII Southwest Stakes for 3-year-olds going 1 1/16 miles on Jan. 25.
Racing at Oaklawn was cancelled for most of Dec. 28 and for the entire weekend of Jan. 10-12 due to weather, while Jan. 30 has been added to the calendar to assist in making up lost days.
