Blue Ribbon Downs in Sallisaw cancelled live racing Friday and Saturday due to track conditions, track officials said.

Bonnie Cusimano, racetrack director of marketing, said the first race was run on Friday before the rain-soaked track was closed.

The races have been rescheduled for next weekend, Cusimano said.

"There will be eight races on Saturday and 10 on Sunday," Cusimano said. "Post time for both days will be at noon.

"Horsemen are advised that all of the races will be run next weekend with the exception of the first race run last Friday, which was called official."

Cusimano said $500 in purse money will be added to all the rescheduled races except for the Black Gold Futurity and Derby Championships. The weekend was to be the last day of live racing for the fall meet.

Entries for next Saturday will be taken on Wednesday morning and entries for Sunday will be taken on Thursday morning, Cusimano said. All horses must be re-entered, she added.

Horsemen should contact the racing office for more information.

The public may contact the racetrack at (918) 775-7771 or visit the track's Web site at www.blueribbondowns.net.\

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
