Freehold Raceway will be dropping four Thursdays of live racing due to limited horse supply.

The dates being dropped are Nov. 9, 16, 30 and Dec. 7. Freehold will be adding back two days of racing on Friday (Dec. 15) and Saturday (Dec. 16).

According to Freehold General Manager Howard Bruno, “There simply aren’t enough horses to support a three day a week schedule this time of year. We will pick up with Thursday racing again in late December once some of the regional tracks have closed for the winter.”

Freehold will race Friday and Saturday through Saturday (Dec. 16). After a brief break, the winter/spring meet will begin Thursday (Dec. 28).

Racing dates for 2018 will be released in mid-November.

Post time will remain 12:30 p.m.
