Aqueduct, Turfway Park, and Charles Town are among the tracks to cancel racing.
Severe winter conditions lingering from Winter Storm Fern, with wind chills driving temperatures into single digits in some areas of the United States, continue to force live racing cancellations across portions of the United States.
Laurel Park in Maryland is the latest track to cancel racing, calling off its Jan. 30 card after one race, citing frigid temperatures. It postponed its Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 racing programs, as well.
The original card for Saturday, highlighted by the $100,000 Spectacular Bid Stakes for 3-year-olds and the $100,000 Xtra Heat Stakes for 3-year-old fillies, has been moved to Wednesday, Feb. 4.
The one previously planned for Sunday has been moved to Thursday, Feb. 5.
Laurel Park will run a Wednesday-through-Sunday schedule next week. The first post time is noon ET.
