A message from Dr.Heidlage: For the final weekend of races there is an over abundance of haul ins each day. I would appreciate your cooperation in arriving early to the haul in barn. Both the Cherokee barn and D1 will have to be used. Anyone assigned stalls in D1 will need to be in place by 8 am. Anyone in the Cherokee barn has to be in their assigned stalls by 9 am not on your way to the stall. If you arrive at the stable gate at 9 am you will be considered late and subject to fines or scratches. This will be the largest number of horses in per card for the entire meet. Please keep this in mind. We will all have to make concessions to make this work. Jock agents please make your haul in trainers aware of this. Thank you. ... ’Expand’See Less
