A combination of snow, rain and freezing temperatures over the course of the weekend prompted officials at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas, to cancel Sunday's live racing program after the opening race of the afternoon.
“At Oaklawn, the safety of our equine and human athletes will always take priority,” said track president Louis Cella. “In consultation with our jockeys, horsemen, and outside engineers, we chose to cancel the remainder of the card so that we can prepare for next week's racing, highlighted by Saturday's Mockingbird S.”
Racing is expected to resume next Friday, Jan. 12, with a scheduled first post of 12:30 p.m. CT.
