Snow prompts cancellation of racing at Laurel Park

Baltimore Sun

Laurel Park's nine-race card was canceled Saturday because of the heavy snowfall. The decision was made 30 minutes before the 12:35 p.m. first post. "We were originally expecting one to two inches but the forecast changed," Maryland Jockey Club president Tom Chuckas said. The cancellation means the elimination of the national Magna 5 wager, which had been slated to start with Laurel's finale, the $70,000 Dancing Count Stakes. Laurel Park racing secretary Georganne Hale said the Dancing Count will not be carded this year. Only six 3-year-olds had been entered Saturday. Live racing returns to Laurel Park on Wednesday.
