Kentucky Downs has canceled its Sept. 17 race card due to inclement weather and "less-than-perfect track conditions," according to a release from the Franklin, Ky. track

Delaware Park cancels Sept 27 2012 race card
Delaware Park announced its live racing card for Thursday, Sept. 27, has been cancelled due to insufficient entries.
Live racing is still scheduled to go on Sept. 26, and will resume on Saturday, Sept. 29, with a first race post time of 1:15 p.m.
The races that did fill for the now-cancelled card will be brought back as extra races for Sept. 29 and Oct. 1.

Just checked the Del Park Condition Book for that day...9 races. One of which was Arabian. Three substitute races. Wonder why they could not fill.

Because Laurel routinely has a dozen or more horses on their cards that last raced at Delaware.

Doesn't Del Park have strict rules about stall space, horses on the grounds given preferential treatment, shippers( if a trainer has a horse on the grounds and races elsewhere, the horse cannot run at DP for 30 days or something)?
Seems to me the more restrictive a track is in trying to keep horses racing there, tends to actually run people off and want to race elsewhere.
Oh, with all the talk about slots inflated purses, if DP's are inflated, I'd hate to see what the purses would be without the casino play.
Christ there would not be a $10,000 purse for any field.

The reason they didn't fill is quite simple. I tried to enter a horse there for the first time in two years.

No Belmont tomorrow, 9-28, to keep the track in top condition for Saturday.

I'll complain about a lot of things, but canceling racing well in advance isn't one of them.

Looks like NYRA panicked on this one. It’s understandable though. If a horse were to so much as throw a shoe they’d the have the Governor threatening again to “withhold” the casino subsidy.

My response was meant to be ironic. Haven't run a horse at Delaware in 2 years. We chose to enter on a day that the card didn't fill and the whole day was scrapped.

Belmont Park 9-29 no turf races 1st and 4th. Great to see them protecting the rock like turf course which needed the rain!

Maybe the jocks will play it safe today and not gun their horses out of the gate and set those suicide fractions like they usually do.
