Thursday’s eight-race card of live Thoroughbred racing at Woodbine Racetrack has been pushed back to 6:05 p.m. EDT.
With an extreme heat warning in effect for the city of Toronto, Woodbine said it made the decision to push back the start of Thursday’s live racing in the best interest of horse welfare.
The decision to push back Thursday’s start time was made in consultation with the Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association.
The first post had been scheduled for 4:50 p.m.
The Environment Canada forecast for Thursday calls for a high temperature of about 90 degrees with a 30 percent chance of showers.
Woodbine has a 1:10 p.m. post time on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The high Friday is forecast at about 88 degrees, with cooler temperatures expected Saturday and Sunday.
Other tracks that have postponed their start times because of extreme heat include Finger Lakes and Presque Isle Downs.
