The American SetKentucky Downs Moves Its Thursday Bell to Beat the Heat
Thursday's live card at Kentucky Downs will now break at 11:00 AM Central, moved up from its regular post time. The National Weather Service issued a heat advisory for the Franklin, Kentucky area, and track management shifted the entire afternoon program into the cooler morning hours in response. Racing continues as scheduled — only earlier, a straightforward adjustment built around the safety of horse and rider through a stretch of hot weather.
