Weekend Racing Cancelled at Santa Anita Due to Weather

Due to unprecedented winter conditions forecast for Southern California through the upcoming weekend, Santa Anita Park has cancelled Saturday and Sunday's racing programs prior to entries being taken for either day. The track had previously postponed the Friday racing card, which was a makeup day not originally on the calendar.

Blizzard warnings have been issued for the San Gabriel Mountains behind the historic track, with snowfall expected at the 1,000 foot level. It is the first blizzard warning ever issued in Los Angeles County. The storm, which is expected to begin late morning on Thursday, is forecast to drop six inches of rain through Saturday.

The decision to cancel both days out of an abundance of caution was made in consultation with industry stakeholders, including the Thoroughbred Owners of California, the California Thoroughbred Trainers Association, and the California Horse Racing Board.

The main track and training track training schedule will be announced on a daily basis and will be open for training as the weather permits.

Snowstorm Causes Friday Cancellations At Aqueduct, Laurel Park

A snowstorm moving from the Ohio Valley into the Northeast on Thursday night and Friday morning has led to racing cancellations at Aqueduct in New York and Laurel Park in Maryland. Laurel's cancellation also means the multi-track Stronach 5 wager will be cancelled

Following are the press releases for tracks cancelling on Friday:

Aqueduct
The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) has canceled Friday's live racing program at Aqueduct Racetrack due to a winter storm currently impacting the New York metropolitan area.

New York City remains under a winter weather advisory, with the National Weather Service (NWS) forecasting continued high winds and heavy snow into Friday afternoon. As a result, NYRA has canceled Friday's eight-race card in the interest of the safety of all participants.
