EDITED WOODBINE PRESS RELEASE
TORONTO—In the interest of safety for horses and all racing participants, and after consultation with the HBPA, jockeys and veterinarians, Woodbine Entertainment cancelled Saturday’s live racing card after the fifth race due to unsafe racing conditions caused by heavy rains in the Greater Toronto Area.
Two Florida-breds were scheduled to run in stakes at Woodbine Saturday. Mensa was entered to run in the CA$150,000 bet365 Soaring Free and Capture the Lion was scheduled in the CA$150,000 Bold Venture.
Woodbine Entertainment has rescheduled The 165th King’s Plate to Friday. Friday’s card will also include the four stakes that were scheduled for Saturday: the $200,000 bet365 King Edward (G2), the $150,000 Bold Venture Stakes (G3), $150,000 bet365 Soaring Free and $150,000 Catch a Glimpse.
