Laurel Park has canceled its January 20 live racing card. It marks the second consecutive day canceled at the central Maryland track.

The cancellation is a result of “the lingering effects of the winter storm that has impacted the Mid-Atlantic region,” according to a track email. A snowstorm hit the area Thursday night, dumping three inches on the state, and snow continued to fall throughout Friday.

Laurel was slated to host four stakes on Jan. 20, two for Maryland-breds and two open stakes, the Fire Plug and What a Summer, that often serve as preps for next month’s Grade 3 sprints, the General George for the boys and Barbara Fritchie for fillies and mares, respectively. The What a Summer and Fire Plug will serve as extra races for the January 26 card, while the two Maryland-bred stakes, the Geisha and Jennings, will be extras for Sunday’s card.

Assuming all four of the stakes fill when redrawn, Laurel will host six stakes next weekend: two each on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Training at Laurel and Pimlico is also canceled.
