Sam Houston Race Park has requested the addition of four live racing dates, to take place on Mondays in the month of March, for the 2009/2010 Thoroughbred schedule.
Two of the requested dates are make up dates due to the inclement weather and freezing track conditions that caused the cancellation of live racing on January 8 & 9. Sam Houston has also requested an additional two live race dates to round out the live racing schedule. The requested race dates are March 8, 15, 22, & 29. Monday live racing events will feature a post time of 1:20 p.m.
The request for live racing dates for Sam Houston Race Park is subject to the review and approval by the Texas Racing Commission.
“We are working with the Texas Racing Commission to reschedule January’s lost racing dates and are excited to add two more dates to our schedule for the month of March," said Andrea Young, President and Chief Operating Officer, Sam Houston Race Park. "We think that the afternoon post time is a great opportunity to reach live racing fans as well as simulcast fans. We have every confidence that the dates will be approved.”
The 2009/2010 Thoroughbred meet closes on Saturday, April 3.
