SHAKOPEE, MN – Closing weekend seems to always brings some interesting developments at Canterbury Park, like in 2023 when races were moved from the dirt to the turf because of the main track conditions and then the card was subsequently cancelled.

This year weather was the culprit. After the first two races, the skies opened and there was a long delay with lightning and rain turning the main track to slop, cancelling the third race and moving the remaining turf races to the main track.

After the delay and two races were run, it was determined that track conditions and pending inclement weather would make it impossible to run the remainder of the card.

The postponement results in the 3^rd, 6^th, 7^th and 8^th races from Thursday night being moved to Saturday’s card with the post time staying at 4:10 PM with a 13-race closing day card.

Thursday night’s 6^th race, scheduled for the turf, will be OFF the turf because of light issues.
