A major winter storm has prompted Saturday (March 12) cancellations for The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono and Saratoga Casino Hotel.
Saratoga Cancels Saturday Program
Due to impending winter weather, Saratoga Casino Hotel has canceled live harness racing for Saturday (March 12).
Saratoga is scheduled to resume on Sunday (March 13), with first post time at 12:00 p.m.
Pocono Cancels Saturday Card
Due to a major winter storm set to pass through northeast Pennsylvania, The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono is cancelling the harness racing program scheduled for Saturday (March 12).
The Game Of Claims Pacing Series for base-tag horses at the $25,000 and $15,000 levels have now had preliminary legs postponed twice, following the delay of the second leg which was to have been contested on February 26. This now means (barring any additional weather problems) that all five sections in the Game Of Claims program will have their third and final preliminary legs the weekend of March 19-21, and all five will have their Championships on the weekend of March 26-28.
The Pocono track crew, horsemen, and management will be working hard to have the track ready to go for the next scheduled day of racing at the mountain oval, this coming Sunday (March 13) at 5:00 p.m., which is set to feature four divisions of the second prelim of the Game Of Claims action for $15,000 base-priced trotters.
