Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races has altered first post time for most its racing programs in 2014.
The West Virginia track said Jan. 8 the first race each day will go off at 7 p.m. Eastern time rather than the previously announced 7:15 p.m. First post time for the track's two major stakes programs April 19 and Sept. 20 will be 5 p.m., as previously announced.
With the slightly earlier first post, the final race on a standard nine-race card is scheduled to go off at 10:39 p.m.
The state budget will redirect those gaming funds to support other programs.
The case led to years of litigation and a major ruling on racetrack exclusions.
The temperature is expected to fall yet again, with a wind-chill factor.
The tracks aren't racing Jan. 21 because of winter storm in the region.
The West Virginia Racing Commission approved the expenditure Jan. 21.
