Curtain Closing On Harrah's Philadelphia

Published: December 1, 2016 09:09 pm EST

Closing day of the 2016 Harrah's Philadelphia harness meet will be on Monday, December 12, 2016, with a first post of 12:40 p.m.

The suburban Philadelphia oval saw plenty of highlights in 2016, which culminated with the track's tenth anniversary celebration, a rare night card back on September 9th.

Fans also witnessed pacing superstar Wiggle It Jiggleit shatter the all-age track record, pacing the mile in a stunning 1:47.3. The previous mark was co-owned by Mister Big and Artistic Fella (1:48).

The two-year-old colt and two-year-old gelding track records for trotters were broken as well. Don Dream (Dave Miller) set the mark for colts in 1:55.2 in September, while Muscles Jared (John Campbell) set the mark for geldings (1:55.2) just 10 days earlier.

Harrah's Philadelphia would like to thank the horsemen and the racing fans on a great season, and are looking forward to another action-packed season in 2017.
