The Raceway at Western Fair District was forced to cancel its Monday night program after six races due to deteriorating track conditions caused by steady rains and warming temperatures throughout the evening.

The track has canceled its Tuesday night program as temperatures are forecasted to climb overnight along with heavy rainfall.

The weather prognosis looks slightly better for Wednesday evening’s card and management will update the status of that program on Wednesday morning.

Prior to the latter portion of Monday’s being scrapped, Toot Toot N was able to take down top prize in the Monday’s top class at the London oval for Team Hensley.

The seven-year-old son of Gotta Go Cullen-Tranportiamidfrew grabbed the lead from Post 1 for driver/co-owner Ed Hensley, and gelding chopped out fractions of :29, 1:00.2 and 1:29.3 over a track listed as ‘Sloppy’ before kicking home in :30.3 to win by 11 lengths over Shadow Me Themoney in 2:00.1. Topville Chrome took home the show dough in the $9,000 affair.

Ashleigh Hensley co-owns and trains the pacer who now boasts a 2-for-7 record this season. The eight-time winner is quickly closing in on $50,000 in lifetime earnings.
