Vernon Downs to race on Saturday

At 0h10, on May 11, 2022 • By NEWSROOM

Vernon Downs will race a 13-race card on Saturday (May 14) using the horses stabled at the track in an effort to provide the opportunity for the Vernon horsemen to earn some purse money after a long, lean winter of not racing.

A double draw for Friday (May 13) and Saturday (May 14) was offered and completed on Monday, resulting in a number of races that were condensed to a single card.

Vernon has been in the news as a result of several cases of EHV-1 which were discovered 10 days ago that led to a management declared quarantine of the stable area and the cancelation of last weekend’s races.
