Canterbury hopeful court appeal leads to track's reopening
Attorneys for Canterbury Park spent Tuesday preparing paperwork for an appeal of a ruling handed down in Ramsey County District Court that denied the track’s request to remain open during a state shutdown. The fate of Thursday’s card, the next scheduled day of live racing, remains up in the air and a decision may not be made until Thursday morning.

Increasingly depressing scenario for everyone at Canterbury.. Good piece by Star-Trib's Jon Tevlin on the cost to the people involved. 1,100 affected by the ongoing stalemate, before even counting those that work with the horses..
At Canterbury Park, no races, no purses, no reason to stay By JON TEVLIN , Star Tribune They are among the innocent victims of the state closure, many of them low-paid workers and independent contractors who simply do not earn a living if their horses don't run. Since jockeys and some trainers who own their horses are considered independent business owners, they also don't qualify for unemployment.
