HAMBURG, N.Y. --- A power outage just before the start of
the fifth race at Buffalo Raceway on Wednesday night (July 4) forced officials
to cancel the remaining six events on the program.
A transformer failure in the Hamburg area cut power
throughout the town including the Buffalo Raceway facilities.
Due to previously announced scheduling changes, Buffalo
Raceway will be dark on Friday night but the simulcasting area will be open as
usual. Live action will return on Saturday with an 11-race program set for 6
p.m. Then on Sunday, there's a 12:30 p.m. matinee which will feature the New
York Sire Stakes with the 3-year-old colt and gelding pacers ready to clash.
