Deerfield Raceway Inc. Rain Out Policy
 

Weather forecasts are not always accurate or play out. It may be raining up the road and the sun may be shining at the track. We go along with our program and racing whenever we can, regardless of conditions or actual conditions in the surrounding areas. We never cancel an event if it looks like rain or if they are predicting rain.

Call the track on the day of events at 330-584-2300 for the latest. Someone is in the office from at least 12:30 p.m. on, if not earlier. If no one answers, the recording will give the latest information. Please try back at a later hour. We have two and sometimes three lines available to ring into the office. Please be patient if you can't get through.

If you are having trouble getting it answer, always check our home page. Our scrolling banner at the top of the page is updated from the track to give the latest updates.

In the event of a sudden shower, track officials will halt the races. If it is just a passing shower, track crews will get the track back into safe racing conditions so the program can resume.

If in the opinion of the track officials that the rain is sufficient to cancel the remainder of the event, racing will not resume. If all of the preliminary races or part of the features have been completed and the weather forces the program to be cancelled, there will be no "rain out". Make-up features will be run in the subsequent nights, if possible. Rain checks will not be honored.

If the races are cancelled prior to the completion of all of the preliminary events, a "rain out" will be declared. An announcement will be made for what event(s) your tickets will be good for. If an increased admission event occurs in one of the following weeks, you may use your rain check and pay the difference. If an increased admission show is cancelled, your ticket may be redeemed for its face value for the specified (management’s decision) make-up special event or it may be redeemed at one of the next two regular events. No refunds will be given for the difference in the ticket prices in either case.

Please call the office Monday through Friday at 330-584-2300. Cash refunds will not be granted, unless management makes a decision to refund the money from the entire event.
