Race Date Changes At Cal-Expo

Published: August 10, 2011 10:32 am EDT

Cal-Expo has announced that it has received approval from the California Horse Racing Board to eliminate the three previously-scheduled Thursdays in September

.

Those Thursdays are September 15, 22 and 29.

As a result, note the change in the Cal-Expo harness racing calendar for September 2011. The three-day-a-week schedule will begin the week of October 6 (Thursday) and will continue until December 17, 2011, with the exception of U.S. Thanksgiving week.

The track also announced that, at this time, it cannot say with any certainty that it will have enough racehorses ready to support the three-day-a-week schedule. By extending the two-day per-week program into October, officials with the track said it will be able to offer its fans a more competitive racing product with more starters per race.
