Fair Grounds cancels Friday card

Fair Grounds canceled its nine-race program Friday because of inclement weather that produced potentially dangerous conditions.

Early scratches had been announced for an off-turf, sloppy track card when the decision was made to abandon racing. Thursday’s racing was conducted over a sloppy, sealed track.

Fair Grounds has no plans to make up the lost card but will add Friday’s lost races to upcoming programs a race or two at a time.
