Sporting Legend At Pocono Saturday

Published: June 28, 2018 11:10 am EDT

There will be horsepower aplenty at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono this Saturday (June 30), as the lucrative ‘Sun Stakes’ finals will be taking centre stage. Although, in addition to the superstar equines, there will also be a sporting legend in the house.

The day will begin with a special meet and greet with Julius ‘Dr. J’ Erving in the racing lobby at 4:30 p.m. The meet and greet will be a wristband-only event, and the wristbands will be distributed at 1:00 p.m. A racing rewards card is required, and only the distributed authorized photos will be signed.

Also on Saturday, the first 300 fans will receive a souvenir cooler pack. Coupons, which are required, can be found in the live racing program, which will be available starting at 11:00 a.m. Redemption will be between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. in the lower grandstand bar. The promotion is one per fan (while supplies last) with their racing rewards card.

First-race post time Saturday will be at 7:00 p.m. There will be plenty of seating on the apron and patio, as well as free self-parking and free admission. Patio and apron bars will be open with ice-cold beverages, and there will also be a food tent. No off-property food or beverages are permitted.
