A severe thunderstorm bringing heavy rain and lightning through the area caused Gulfstream Park to cancel its final five races Sunday out of an abundance of caution for horses, horsemen and fans.
The decision was made following a lengthy weather delay prior to Race 6 with steady rain forecast into early evening.
Exactas, Trifectas and Superfectas were refunded. The $1 Double (7-ALL) returned $4.10 and the $1 Pick 3 (3-7-ALL) returned $51.20.
The Sunshine Meet will resume Friday with a nine-race program headlined by the $75,000 Hallandale Beach for 2-year-old fillies going a one-turn mile on the main track. Recent maiden winner Vita Mia is the 9-5 program favorite. Willow Case and Tessellate, respectively 1-2 in the Aug. 9 Sharp Susan, are also entered.
