Tioga Downs has cancelled the scheduled retention for those horses racing in the Zweig Memorial Three-Year-Old Colt Trot on Sunday, August 28, due to weather concerns
.
Horsemen are urged to ship to Tioga sooner rather than later and stalls will be available to those that desire to stay overnight Saturday, but there will be no formal retention and an overnight stay is not mandatory.
There are no changes to the race card as scheduled, which is still set to go postward at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.
Tioga officials are monitoring the weather as the storm progresses.
