Due to a winter storm in the Mid-Atlantic region, Laurel Park has canceled the Feb. 14 nine-race program.
Live racing is scheduled to return Monday when Laurel will run a special Presidents Day holiday program with a 12:25 p.m. ET first race post time.
The Maryland Jockey Club's off-track betting sites will remain open for simulcasting.
Sunday is the second consecutive day Laurel has canceled live racing. The MJC postponed Saturday's Winter Sprintfest program featuring the $250,000 Runhappy Barbara Fritchie Stakes (G3) and $250,000 General George Stakes (G3) to Saturday, Feb. 20.
In addition to the Barbara Fritchie and General George for older sprinters, the Winter Sprintfest program includes the $100,000 Miracle Wood Stakes for 3-year-olds, $100,000 Wide Country Stakes for 3-year-old fillies, $100,000 John B. Campbell Stakes for 4-year-olds and up, and $100,000 Nellie Morse Stakes for older females at about 1 1/16 miles.
