Laurel Park Cancels Live Racing On Feb. 8

Maryland Jockey Club

Having already been forced to cancel its live racing program for Saturday, Feb. 7, officials at Laurel Park have called off the card for Sunday, Feb. 8, citing continuing frigid temperatures across the Mid-Atlantic region.

Live racing is expected to resume at Laurel on Thursday, Feb. 12, with a first post of 12 p.m. ET. The previously canceled card for Feb. 7 will not be redrawn and will be conducted that afternoon.

Sunday's scheduled races will be listed as guaranteed extras on the overnights throughout next week. These races will be run over the weekend with the same number of horses after a redraw, provided they remain intact.

Laurel Park and The Maryland Jockey Club OTB network will remain open on Sunday for simulcast.

Aqueduct Racetrack is also closed both Feb. 7 and 8 due to the cold weather.
