Dear Mr. Ryneveld,
RE: REQUEST TO CANCEL RACE DAYS MAY 16, 17, 18, 23, 24. 30 AND 31, 2020
Horse Racing Alberta (HRA) has approved the cancellation of the race days scheduled for May 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 30 and 31 at Century Downs Racetrack and Casino due to concerns with COVID-19.
My understanding is that Alberta Standardbred Horse Association (ASHA) supports these race day cancellations.
Cancelled race days can be made up by adding a day or adding races to approved cards. Please advise HRA as races are rescheduled. A letter of approval from HRA will be required to add a race day.
Please contact me with any questions or concerns.
Regards,
Kent Verlik
