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.
