Charles Town has canceled its Thursday night card as a result of the poor air quality stemming from the Canadian wildfires.

Track and state officials monitored AQI (Air Quality Index) values throughout the morning, and with the AQI rising to “very unhealthy” levels in the 190s, the decision to cancel was made in the best interest of human and equine safety.

Charles Town previously had canceled its June 8 card, also for air quality reasons.

Live racing is expected to resume on Friday, June 30th at its standard first race post time of 7:00 P.M. ET.
