Officials at Ocean Downs have pushed the harness racing program scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 28 back 40 minutes in anticipation of excessive heat on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

First post time for the 11-race card will now be 7:45 p.m. Horsepeople are advised that paddock arrival and Lasix administration times will be adjusted in kind to allow for rescheduled post times.
