Despite the efforts of Turfway Park’s track crew, lingering effects from last week’s extreme cold and winter weather have made it impossible to safely conduct racing at the Northern Kentucky track Friday evening.

Florence, Ky., was under a winter weather advisory until 7 a.m. Saturday, with two to four inches of snow expected. Turfway also canceled racing Wednesday and Thursday because of the remnants of a winter storm.

Crews continue to work around the clock to prepare the track for this weekend’s schedule, and live racing is expected to resume Saturday at 5:55 p.m. EST. The $180,036 Late Pick 5 carryover originally slated for Friday will move to Saturday’s late sequence. Sunday’s racing program remains unchanged, with first post at 1 p.m.

Looking ahead, Turfway will expand to 10-race programs beginning Wednesday to accommodate the races canceled because of weather.
