Colonial Downs announced it will postpone Monday's opening card, prompted by dangerous heat conditions with heat index forecasts over 100 degrees. The change is to safeguard the health of people working, horses shipping and racing during these conditions. Monday's races will be re-carded for Sunday, August 2 and horsemen will need to re-enter on Tuesday, July 28.
Colonial Downs revised opening day features a nine-race card planned for Tuesday, July 28 with a post time of 5:30PM (EDT). Under a spectator-free designation, fans are encouraged to tune into the TVG Network to watch live racing from Colonial Downs and wager via tvg.com; twinspires.com; xpressbet.com; and nyrabets.com.
