Vernon Downs has announced that it will be moving its first-race post times for its Thursday, October 1, Friday, October 2, and Saturday, October 3 cards of racing. Qualifying time for Friday, October 2 has also
been adjusted.
The first-race post times for the pari-mutuel cards will be moved to 1:15 p.m., pending regulatory approval.
The change in post time is due to the transformers that caught fire on Saturday, September 26. Management is working on fixing the transformers, but does not know the exact amount of time necessary for repair, therefore the change in post was necessary.
Qualifiers at Vernon Downs on Friday, October 2 will be held at 10:00 a.m. instead of 11:00 a.m. Entries should still be called into the Vernon Downs race office on Thursday at 315-829-6816.
