Canterbury Park racing officials have cancelled Wednesday evening's eight-race program due to forecasted heat indexes that could make racing dangerous to both horses and the people that work outdoors. Racing will resume Thursday at 5:00 p.m.
Yesterday officials moved post time for Wednesday from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. based on available information. Updated forecasts forced a cancellation.
“Predicting the weather is not an exact science and based on what we see now the best course of action in to cancel tonight's program,” Director of Racing Chris Merz said. “I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause to our guests and those that planned to race tonight but we act in the best interest of the horses and the workers.”
