Laurel Park delays Friday post time
The Biz- August 5, 2022
Citing a combination of “heat stress, temperature, and humidity” in the late morning and early afternoon, the Maryland Jockey Club has pushed back its first post on Friday, August 5 to 1:50 p.m.
That’s 70 minutes after the originally scheduled 12:40 opener. It’s the second time in recent weeks the track has had a delayed first post, both times for heat reasons.
