Colonial Downs cancels Tuesday card due to heavy rain

Colonial Downs in New Kent, Va., canceled its Tuesday card because of heavy rain from Tropical Storm Isaias, the track announced Tuesday morning.

A tweet from the Colonial Downs account said Tuesday racing had been abandoned "due to heavy rains" on Monday night. The Tweet said the card was to be made up on Sunday, Aug. 9.

Colonial now has canceled two of its first five programs this year. The opening-night card of July 27 was canceled because of dangerously hot temperatures. That program was made up on Sunday.
