Although opening weekend at Alberta Downs in Lacombe was for all purposes a success, the unpredictable Alberta weather has resulted in the cancellation of this weekend's
race cards.
The unseasonal weather experienced in Lacombe over the last 10 days, including three hours of rain after Sunday's card, has forced ASHA to make the decision to cancel this weekend's (May 15, 16 & 17) cards at Lacombe. The work needed on the track will be started as early as tomorrow morning and is expected to take up to five days to complete.
ASHA would like to ensure its horsemen and women, its members and its fans that any missed dates will be made up during this Spring/Summer meet - no race days will be lost.
ASHA appreciates your patience and feels that this is a necessary step to protect the safety of its participants and horses.
