General: Stewards inspected the track after the running of Race 3 after a light globe had blown in one of the towers, just after the first turn. Stewards inspected the section of the track that was affected and consulted with the lure driver and track curator and believed that the blown light had minimal effect on the overall lighting to the racing surface and deemed it safe to continue racing. |
