POST TIME FOR THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7 ADJUSTED TO 1:25 P.M.

After reviewing the racing landscape for this coming Thursday, Sept. 7, officials at Colonial Downs have decided to modify its first post time for that day to 1:25 p.m. to better coordinate with other racetracks running that day.

Live racing this week – the final week of the 27-day day meet – begins with a special card on Wednesday, September 6 to make up for a program lost earlier in the season. The 10-race card, which starts at the standard 1:30 p.m., features a $12,055 carryover into the 50-cent Early Pick 4 (races 1-5) with a low 12% takeout.

Saturday’s closing day card is highlighted by the Grade 3 $500,000 New Kent County Virginia Derby as well as five additional stakes topped by the $250,000 Virginia Oaks.
