Racing at Colonial Downs
Colonial Downs announced Aug. 6 that it had rescheduled racing from Aug. 8-9 to Aug. 12-13. The decision to reschedule was made in consideration of the possible impact caused by Tropical Storm Debby, which could lead to adverse racing conditions and safety concerns for those shipping in or traveling to participate.
The Colonial Downs team is working closely with experts in the field to determine if the risk of heavy rain will impact the timing of the Colonial Downs Festival of Racing on Aug. 10. The Arlington Million (G1T) and Beverly D. Stakes (G1T) are the headline races scheduled Saturday at Colonial Downs. A decision on those scheduled races is expected by 5 p.m. on Aug. 7 when more accurate data is available.
