Tioga Downs closed to Sat.

Mother Nature has proven she surely isn't a slots player as the planned Wednesday morning opening of the 750-machine slot parlor at Tioga Downs in New York has been postponed to Saturday morning due to extreme flooding in the area after days of prolonged rain. Also, Friday night's race card has been rescheduled to Saturday night at 6:50 p.m.

Jason Settlemoir, Tioga Downs' vice president of racing and simulcasting told harnessracing.com that he and his wife, Lori, were forced to evacuate their apartment in nearby Sayre, Pa., and are staying with a co-worker until the flood waters reside.

"I've been told the Susquehanna River is going to crest at around 40 feet somewhere between now and tomorrow morning," said Settlemoir. "They've had problems with a couple of dams but I've been reassured that it is not going to reach our barn area. Our building is also completely safe.

"Actually, the sun is shining right now and that's why they are having a lot of people moving to higher ground and they don't realize what is happening."
