Maryland Jockey Club cancels racing for the weekend

At 0h01, on April 16, 2021 • By LAUREL PARK

Maryland Jockey Club announced that live racing will be cancelled from Saturday April 17 through Monday April 19, due to the ongoing evaluation of the main track surface conditions. As part of regular track maintenance, the Maryland Jockey Club identified on April 14 that the main track had not responded sufficiently to wintertime cushion repairs. Gallops will be allowed during an abbreviated training schedule Friday, April 16.

Due to the uncertainty of the timeline to rehabilitate the main track surface cushion at Laurel Park, Maryland Jockey Club submitted an application to the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association to move live racing to Pimlico Race Course, effective, April 22 on an emergency basis. The application has been granted and live racing will be moved to Pimlico Race Course until further notice.
