With more heavy rain in the forecast for southern California, Del Mar has canceled their Friday race card according to a social media post from the track.

Additionally, Del Mar has carded an extra race day to be held Monday, Nov. 24. The shift will allow the main track additional time to dry while also enabling the use of the turf course on Sunday and Monday.

Friday's cancellation marks the second day in as many weeks as the track also was forced to cancel the Nov. 15 card due to weather.

SCHEDULE UPDATE: Racing is cancelled Friday, November 21 due to forecasted heavy rain.

A raceday will be added Monday, November 24.
