Buffalo, NY — Buffalo Raceway has canceled its opening race day program for Wednesday, January 30, 2019. “It was just too difficult of a task with the weather conditions the past week in the Buffalo area, and it is forecasted to be bitterly cold on the scheduled opening night,” said COO James Mango.  “Despite an overall anxiousness for the 2019 meet to begin, trainers were delayed in shipping into the stable area, and could not train their horses at the farms.  We will look forward to a great opening on Saturday, February 2.”

In order to assist the horsemen, Buffalo Raceway will conduct qualifying races on Tuesday, January 29 at 1 p.m. allowing those horses to be eligible to race on opening night, Saturday, February 2.
