The Churchill Meet is 2/3rds over and has come to an abrupt halt due to the cold temperature’s and snow we have gotten this year. They have cancelled the card two days in a row. The last time they cancelled a day in the fall meet was in 1986. They did cancel a couple of spring days in 2011 when tornado’s came through.

They are suppose to add extra races each day to make up for the lost two days (hopefully we won’t lose anymore). Thanksgiving has always been a giant day at Churchill as well as Friday and Saturday.

Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas will open six weeks after Churchill’s meet closes with the bottom purse for $5000 claimers being $18,000 and purses up to $62,000 for maiden special.

Still time to claim one at Churchill to run at Oaklawn this winter.
