Schedule changed as result of quarantine

VERNON >> There are a number of schedule changes for racing at Vernon Downs as a result of the recent quarantine, which is to be lifted on Saturday.

Horses that are not stabled at Vernon may enter to race for Saturday’s card and from there forward. Qualifi- ers for that week will be held on Saturday as well to accommodate trainers with horses that need to be qualified that are stabled off the grounds.

The Empire Breeders Classic trotting eliminations have been moved from Friday to Sunday, June 2 with a post time of 1: 15 p. m.

The live racing program originally scheduled for Wednesday, June 5 has been canceled. Sunday, June 9 will be added in its place, post time 6: 45 p. m. The EBC trotting finals and Excelsior series events for three- year- old colt and filly trotters will be raced on that card.

Race Secretary Scott Warren will conduct a double draw on Wednesday for the June 1 and 2 cards and again on Wednesday, June 5 for the June 8 and 9 race cards.

Live racing is also canceled for Saturday, June 15 due to a concert. That card will be raced on Sunday, June 16 at 1: 15 p. m.

All changes are contingent upon no further complications with the quarantine.
