The Fan Appreciation aspect of the program is being postponed with a possible make-up date in the offing.
Management asks that all fans employ safe practices when attending this week’s program for the safety of those not at the track for those that you may go home to and for the benefit of those most at risk both at home and who attend on Friday.
Fans should bring exact change with them as an additional measure to limit contact points with employees and to wear a mask while standing in admission lines. If you are not wearing a mask, we respectfully assume it is due to a medical condition.
