No Isle of Capri, Mack Lobell; Pompano to add late-closers

 Return Home
November 21, 2008 Send To A Friend  | Print View

Pompano Park announced Friday it would not hold its signature races this winter, the Isle of Capri Pacing Series, the Mack Lobell Trotting Series and the Frances Dodge Van Lennep Pacing Series, due to the additional expenses incurred from the purse account. Instead, the track will hold 10 new late-closing stakes series, some very similar to the prior major stakes events. The new series will begin in April and will be announced shortly.
 
Also, Pompano management announced to horsemen at a special meeting Friday that the track will be switching live race dates on Fridays to Tuesdays beginning in December.

 

The track has received permission from the Florida Gaming Commission to institute the changes. The last Friday night for live racing will be Nov. 28. The first Tuesday night of live racing will be Dec. 9. There will be only three nights of live racing the first week of December on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Then the new schedule begins of live racing on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday, first race post time at 7:25 pm.

 

Also that same first week in December there will be no qualifying races, the qualifying races will be moved from Friday mornings to Tuesday mornings, beginning Dec. 9 at 10 a.m. (with files from Pompano)
