The tight grip of winter might be letting up in some places,
but it has led to another rescheduling of races, this time at Mahoning Valley.
Even though milder weather has been forecast for early in
the week, Hollywood Gaming management said “lingering weather effects” led to Monday and
Tuesday’s cards being pushed to go Saturday and Sunday as drawn. Both days will
have a first post of 12:15 p.m. EST as usual. The wagering menu will not be
changed.

Counting these latest postponements, Mahoning Valley has
called off race dates 14 times this year including the last five cards. Mired
in sub-freezing weather last week, there has not been racing at the track since
Feb. 12.
The National Weather Service forecast a high near 46 degrees
Monday in Youngstown, Ohio, with wind from the south growing in velocity to
13-18 mph with gusts to 32 mph.
There is a 50% chance of showers overnight Monday into
Tuesday with rain possibly lingering until midday Tuesday. Up to two-tenths of
an inch of rain could fall between Monday night and Tuesday afternoon.
