Calder cancels Sunday card due to Tropical Storm Isaac

Due to the impending approach of Tropical Storm Isaac, Calder has canceled

its live Thoroughbred horse racing program scheduled for Sunday.

"Our primary concern is for the safety of our horses and horsemen," Vice

President and General Manager of Racing John Marshall said. "So even though a

direct hit from Tropical Storm Isaac is not currently expected, we decided it

was in the best interest of all parties to cancel Sunday's races."

Barring any change in course from Tropical Storm Isaac, which is forecast to

track west of Miami Gardens, Florida, Calder's grandstand will remain open for

simulcast wagering and poker on Sunday and the casino will be in full operation.

The main track and training track will both be closed for training on Sunday

morning. The racing office, however, will be open as usual on Sunday and Monday

taking entries for future programs.

Live racing is expected to resume as scheduled on Thursday with a 12:55 p.m.

(EDT) first race post time.
