Last updated: 4/3/15 4:42 PM


The final four races of Keeneland’s opening day program Friday were canceled
due to inclement weather that swept through central Kentucky. Horses were on the
track for the 7TH race, but were sent back to the paddock after the decision to
cancel the remainder was made.

The featured Transylvania (G3), which had already been transferred from the
turf to dirt, was among the the races canceled. The race will be redrawn and
re-scheduled for April 15, according to Keeneland officials.

Racing is scheduled to resume at Keeneland on Saturday beginning at 12:35
p.m. (EDT), when the Blue Grass (G1) highlights an 11-race program that includes
four other graded stakes.
