LAUREL, MD. 02-05-10---With a storm that is expected to dump up to 28 inches of snow in the Baltimore-Washington D.C. region over the next two days, the Maryland Jockey Club has cancelled live racing at Laurel Park for Friday and Saturday.
There will be simulcasting at Laurel and its sister track, Pimlico Race Course, on Friday afternoon but not Saturday.
Saturday’s $70,000 Marshua Stakes will now be contested on Monday, Feb. 15 as part of a card that is headlined by the Grade 2 General George Handicap.
The Laurel racing office will take entries today for next Wednesday’s card and will not work on Thursday’s program until Monday. Entries for Thursday had been scheduled to close Saturday.
