Mahoning Valley Race Course in Youngstown, Ohio has suspended live racing through Nov. 21, following “a positive COVID-19 test emanating from racetrack operations,” the track announced Tuesday on its Facebook page.
The property will still be open for simulcast wagering and casino gaming while live racing is suspended.
The shutdown will affect seven live dates, starting with Tuesday's card, and continuing through the cards scheduled for Nov. 11, 14, 16, 17, 18, and 21.
Live racing is set to resume Monday, Nov. 23, which is the track's signature Steel Valley Sprint card.
The announcement comes five days after Charles Town Races in West Virginia announced its own live racing cancellations through Nov, 14 following a pair of positive COVID-19 tests emanating from the jockey's room.
