Gulfstream Park's 2024-2025 Championship Meet came to an abrupt end when Sunday's closing day program was canceled prior to the sixth of 12 scheduled races.
Powerful thunderstorms swept through Broward County producing lightning and heavy rain and causing a brief power outage. After a lengthy delay, and with storms forecast to last into the evening, the decision was made to cancel.
A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool, which was slated for Sunday's program, will be rescheduled. There is a carryover of $288,488.31 from Florida Derby Day Saturday.
Live racing resumes Thursday at Gulfstream with the opening of the spring-summer Royal Palm Meet, which runs through Aug. 31. Post time for the first of eight races is 12:50 p.m.
