Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 15, 2019 Journalists Share Posted November 15, 2019 With the forecast calling for rain Tuesday through Thursday next week in San Diego, Del Mar has preemptively canceled its racecard Thursday, Nov. 21. This action was due to “an abundance of caution,” said DMTC officials. Entries for next Thursday’s card were scheduled to be taken Saturday morning. DMTC consulted with industry stakeholders, including the Thoroughbred Owners of California and its regulator, the California Horse Racing Board, about the cancellation and all parties agreed that the move provided for the safest possible racing environment. “We know this is unusual for Del Mar,” said DMTC’s executive vice president for racing Tom Robbins, “but equine and rider safety is always our primary concern. We’ll make a call next week as to whether or not we’ll have training on Wednesday and Thursday. We plan on drawing entries for next Friday’s card [Nov. 22] this Sunday and we’ll race, weather permitting.” Racing will be conducted as planned this Friday, Saturday and Sunday with first post at 12:30 p.m. PST on all days.
