Accordingly, there will be no re-draw, with Monday’s program now scheduled as an exact replica of what had been planned for Friday.

Although rain is predicted throughout the afternoon on Friday, Monday’s Arcadia forecast is for sunny skies with a high temperature of 68 degrees.

With a mandatory payout in Golden Gate Fields’ 20 cent Single Ticket Rainbow Pick Six Jackpot on tap Monday, first post time is scheduled for 3:15 p.m and will thus run concurrently with Santa Anita
