Due to heavy rain and high winds that have been affecting the Jersey Shore region all day Saturday, officials at Monmouth Park were forced to cancel the track's season-opening program that was scheduled to get underway at 2 p.m. ET.
The track was to remain open for full-card simulcasting, including Saturday's Kentucky Derby card from Churchill Downs.
Racing is scheduled to resume on Mother's Day Sunday, May 8, with nine live races beginning at 12:15 p.m. ET. The main event is the $100,000 Serena's Song S. for older fillies and mares going 8 1/2 furlongs on the main track.
