Rockingham Park cancelled the remainder of the card after two races on Saturday due to inclement weather

.

Heavy rainstorms with thunder and lightening made conditions unsafe for racing, but live racing will resume on Sunday with an 11-race card as scheduled and first post is at 1:05 p.m.

On Sunday, Rockingham will host a pair of $12,500 eliminations for the Joseph Carney Memorial Trot to determine the field for next Sunday's $30,000 Carney final. Defending champion Scorpion Moon, who is looking to become the first back-to-back winner of the annual race honouring the track's late owner and president, will take on six other trotters in the first elimination and local star Slim Down is the early 5-2 choice in the second elimination.

The first leg of the Battle For New England series for trotters will also be held on Sunday.
