COLONIAL DOWNS may soon close

 

COLONIAL DOWNS SURRENDERS RACING LICENSE:
The owner of Colonial Downs in Virginia surrendered the track’s racing license on October 14th at a meeting of the Virginia Racing Commission and said the track and its seven off-track betting parlors would close as of Nov. 1. The Daily Racing Form has the scoop @ www.drf.com

Sign the petition to keep the Downs open : via Colonial Downs Race Track: In less than two days, we’ve already got almost 1,200 signatures on the petition to help keep horse racing alive at Colonial Downs! Thanks to everyone who has signed and shared with their friends. Please continue to spread the word about this. https://www.change.org
