With further evaluation of the racing surface still ongoing, racing at Laurel Park this weekend has been canceled, the Maryland Jockey Club announced Friday. Laurel also canceled Friday's card before the opener after speaking with jockeys regarding main track safety concerns following overnight snow and afternoon rain. Nine races were scheduled for Saturday including a trio of $100,000 stakes, and eight races were scheduled for Sunday at Laurel. Laurel will remain open during its normal morning training hours for galloping and jogging.
The 6 1/2-furlong Willa On the Move, the six-furlong Dave's Friend and the 1 1/8-mile Richard W. Small will be brought back as extras on the card for Friday, Nov. 29.
Laurel is scheduled to host its traditional Thanksgiving Day program Thursday, Nov. 28 with a special 11:25 a.m. post time.
