Freehold, NJ — Freehold Raceway announced today the cancellation of the 2020 Dexter Cup Trot and the Lady Suffolk Trot due to the continued closure of live racing and shelter in place orders from Governor Phil Murphy due to COVID 19.

The finals for both races were scheduled for Saturday (May 2).

All nominating and sustaining payment refunds will be handled by the Hambletonian Society in accordance with published race conditions.

“We looked at possible alternate dates, but with an already crowded fall stakes season and other tracks looking to move signature races to the fall, cancelling the races became the best option for this year,” said Howard Bruno, Freehold Raceway General Manager.
