Heavy rain and high winds, and a forecast calling for worsening conditions caused Gulfstream Park to cancel its final three races Dec. 16 out of an abundance of caution for horses, horsemen, and fans.
The $100,00 H. Allen Jerkens Stakes or 3-year-olds and up, rained off the grass to the all-weather Tapeta course, has been rescheduled for Dec. 24 and will be redrawn. Also on the Christmas Eve program is the $125,000 Via Borghese for fillies and mares, also scheduled for the turf.
The inclement weather is supposed to continue into Dec. 17, although a decision has not yet been made on the status of Sunday's 10-race card.
Live racing is scheduled to resume at Gulfstream Sunday. Post time for the first of 10 races is 12:10 p.m. ET
