LAUREL PARK CANCELS JAN. 7 CARD

Press Release
January 7, 2022

The Maryland Jockey Club has canceled Friday’s live nine-race program at Laurel Park after a winter storm swept through the area overnight and into the morning.

As a result the national weekly Stronach 5 wager, which was scheduled to open with Laurel’s ninth race, has also been cancelled and will return Friday, Jan. 14.
