Burn at Colonial Downs
Later today, the track at Colonial Downs in New Kent County will be set on fire. It's part of a controlled burn starting at 4 p.m., and we're told it could take several hours. Officials say the burn is the faster way to get rid of the dead turf cover and allow for better growth ahead of the season. The ponies are set to start running July 13th.
