Due to inclement weather, Laurel Park has transferred Saturday's Winter Sprintfest card, featuring the Grade 3 Runhappy Barbara Fritchie Stakes and Grade 3 General George Stakes, to next Saturday, Feb. 20.

The Fritchie and General George are the first graded stakes of the year in Maryland and anchored a card that included the Nellie Morse Stakes for fillies and mares; the John B. Campbell Stakes for older dirt routers; the Wide Country Stakes for 3-year-old fillies; and the Miracle Wood Stakes for three-year-olds at one mile.
