Gulfstream Park officials said damage to the grounds from Hurricane Irma was minimal to none after the worst of the storm had passed through the area by late Sunday afternoon.

Except for some palm fronds litering the area, the barn area and racetrack appeared to suffer no effects from the monster storm, the eye of which passed well to the west of Gulfstream Park. 

Officials said no decision on when racing might resume at Gulfstream Park would be made until Monday at the earliest Entries have been drawn for Wednesday's and Thursday's programs but there are many factors involved not the least of which is when the majority of horses who were evacuated from the track would be able to return to the grounds. Officials said all but approximately 250-300 horses were evacuated, many to the track's satellite training center, Palm Meadows, located 40 miles to the north in Boynton Beach. A large number were also moved to Ocala which unfortunately is now expected to be in the general path of Irma later this evening and into Monday morning.  

Officials said some of the other factors entering into the decision of re-opening include when local curfews will be lifted, roads re-opened, power outages in the area repaired as well as the availability of gasoline.
