Live Horse Racing – October Race Meet

IMPORTANT UPDATE ON HORSE RACING

Due to COVID-19, we are unable to host fans at live horse racing – as such, we made the difficult business decision to have our race dates ran at Golden Gate Fields this year. Dates will be October 8 – 12 and 16 – 18! The good news is you can watch and wager online OR at our Satellite Wagering facility! Continue to support this sport of kings and we will see you all back at the track for live racing excitement in 2021!
