Dover, DE — Weather and driving conditions have resulted in cancelation of the Thursday (March 5) live racing program at Dover Downs.

A predicted all-day snowfall which is expected to end in early evening forced the postponement. Dover Downs does not race on Friday and Saturday. The next racing card will be on Sunday (March 8) with post time at 5:30 p.m.

Race secretary Rod Newhart has scheduled a double-draw this Sunday (March 8). The draw for Wednesday (March 11) is scheduled for Sunday morning with entries accepted from 8:30 a.m. until the entry box for Wednesday’s card will close at 10 a.m.

Also, on Sunday, the draw for the Thursday (March 12) card will also be held. The box for that draw will close at the normal time of 12 Noon sharp.

The Dover Downs race office will open at 8:30 a.m. Sunday morning to take phone entries or through the online entry system.
