Live racing at Laurel Park resumes Friday with an eight-race program featuring two Pick 5 wagers, each with a 12% takeout rate. The featured seventh race is a conditioned six-furlong dirt sprint allowance for Maryland-bred or Maryland-sired horses. The race features 5-year-old gelding Enzo, an Elizabeth Merryman trainee who is a Great Notion half-brother to Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint winner Caravel and a full brother to Grade 2-placed Witty. He makes his first start since June 6 at Delaware Park, when he missed by a neck in a starter-optional claiming turf sprint.

Laurel is not the only mid-Atlantic track that has canceled a race card for lack of entries this week. Penn National also canceled its Friday card for the same reason.
