FRIDAY NIGHT – JULY 3 - RACING AT HASTINGS
CANCELLED DUE TO VIRUS IN THE BARNS

July 1, 2009

Vancouver, B.C. (July 1/09) - General Manager Raj Mutti announced today that this week’s Friday Night Live racing card (July 3) at Hastings Racecourse has been cancelled due to a shortage of available horses.

“Over the last two weeks, our barn area had been affected by a flu-like virus,” Mutti said. “In the best interest and well-being of our horse population, management has elected to cancel Friday’s card.”

Mutti regretted that the live racing program could not be filled but reminded Hastings' guests that the both the 600 slots on the Gaming Floor and simulcast racing coverage from around the world would continue as usual.
