Press release:
Officials at Batavia Downs Gaming were forced to cancel live racing on Sunday July 31 due to the lack of entries.
The Old Fashion Day celebration scheduled for July 31 has been rescheduled to Sunday Aug. 7.
Live racing at America’s oldest lighted harness track will continue as scheduled this Friday and Saturday night with a 6:15 first race post time.
“We regret to have to cancel Sunday’s program,” Todd Haight, director/GM of Live Racing, said, “but there is currently a horse shortage in Western New York and while every effort was made by our racing department to fill Sunday’s program, those efforts proved unsuccessful."
