The Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association will host 'Saturday Night at the Races,'” presented by the Galbreath Equine Center at The Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center on August 1, from Eldorado Scioto Downs.
The show will be streamed live on Facebook. The event will begin at 6:30 p.m. and feature coverage of the Ohio State Fair races.
Hosted by Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association Brand Ambassador Roger Huston and harness racing expert Allison Conte, Saturday Night at the Races will include live coverage of the Director of Agriculture Pace for three-year-old colts and the Governor’s Cup Trot for three-year-old colts.
Saturday Night at the Races will include interviews with drivers, trainers, and owners, as well as analysis of the races.
Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association Outreach and Public Relations Coordinator Frank Fraas says this is another event in the association’s outreach program.
“During the COVID-19 pandemic we are continuing to find ways to deliver our product to fans that might not feel comfortable attending the races in person," said Fraas . "It also gives us the opportunity to present our sport to others that might not follow it on a regular basis.”
Saturday Night at the Races is sponsored by Midland Acres and Big Dee’s Tack and Vet Supplies.
