Delaware Park Saturday racing card canceled due to excessive heat, moved to Monday
Delaware Park has canceled Saturday’s thoroughbred racing due to excessive heat, the Stanton track announced.
The track was “acting upon the recommendation of the Delaware Thoroughbred Racing Commission (DTRC) veterinarians and stewards,” it said, “due to the excessive heat index forecasted by the National Weather Service to be at or above 105º for the region.”
Saturday’s live racing, which features several stakes races plus the $300,000 F=Grade II Delaware Oaks, has been rescheduled for Monday afternoon.
Sunday’s schedule is still on, with the first post at 12:30 p.m. The ninth race is the 87th running of Delaware Park’s biggest annual event, the $500,000 Grade II Delaware Handicap.
