From Lauri King, Deputy Manager II, The Big Fresno Fair 

“Due to the increased wind today and it’s impact on the air quality index, horse racing was cancelled for the safety of our horses and jockeys. It was not an easy decision to make, but it was the right decision for the safety of these athletes. The California Horse Racing Board (CHRB) veterinarian Dr. Jeff Blea, along with our track veterinarian, Dr. Frosty Franklin and our staff made this decision as it was unsafe to have these equine athletes compete when the air quality index is above 150; at the time we made the decision to cancel the air quality index was at 225. We will work to add the races that were to run today to Friday’s race card as potential extra races.  

Anyone who purchased horse racing tickets on-site to the races today can obtain their refund at the horse racing box office. If they were purchased in advance or online, a refund will be provided automatically within 5 business days.”
