The Maryland Jockey Club has altered its winter schedule for Laurel Park, adding racing to Sundays in February in place of Thursdays.
Instead of racing Thursday, Friday and Saturday -- as initially scheduled -- Laurel Park will host races Friday, Saturday and Sunday throughout next month.
The Jockey Club's new general manager, Sal Sinatra, said he hopes the change will bolster attendance.
"We are trying to get people back to the race track," Sinatra said in a statement. "We are running on holiday Mondays when people are off, so why not run on Sundays when people are off?"
Thursday racing will return to Laurel in March, when the schedule expands from three to four days a week.
The Maryland Racing Commission approved the schedule change.
