River Downs Opening Delayed by Flooding

The record-setting rains of April in the Cincinnati, Ohio area have forced officials at River Downs to push back their expected live racing opening of Friday, April 29, to a date yet to be determined. 

Water from the Ohio River levels has covered the main track with water and while those levels are predicted to recede during the week, wet weather is expected until Thursday, April 28.

The River Downs RaceBook has suspended simulcast operations, but officials are planning to re-open the facility for full-card simulcasting on Wednesday, April 27.
