Waterford Park loses summer racing dates to Wheeling Downs
CHARLESTON AP Waterford Park will not hold a summer and fall racing season in the Northern Panhandle. The State Racing Commission approved a fall meet Oct 14 through Nov 14 but rejected Waterford’s June 17 to Sept 7 summer dates as too long and overlapping Wheeling Downs’ Aug 10 to Oct 10 slate. The ruling leaves ongoing disputes between the two tracks unresolved and it is unclear if Waterford will pursue further action. Ed Lopat posted a 10-game win streak for the Yankees dating from June 17, 1949 to July 4, 1951 when a fan hurled a black cat onto the field.
