Stickney, IL – A Saturday night (Feb. 29) full of upsets at Hawthorne has led to a Sunday (March 1) card that will have some sort of carryover covering the entire 10-race card. First post on Sunday at Hawthorne is 7:10 p.m. CST and a fast track is expected.
The first carryover of the evening is the biggest at Hawthorne will be the start of the Pick-5 wager beginning in the first race.
