Stall applications for the upcoming 2018 harness racing season at Buffalo Raceway are now available at several locations.

Those interested in racing during the 88-day campaign can get an application online at buffaloraceway.com, at the Western New York Harness Horsemen's office located in Batavia, or by calling Buffalo Raceway Race Secretary Tom Agosti at 716-649-1280 (Ext. 6235). Stall applications are due on Friday, December 8.

"There is a concern of a possible shortage of racehorses," Agosti said. "We will be pleased to discuss racing opportunities with qualified trainers."

The barn area at Buffalo Raceway, located on the Erie County Fairgrounds, will open on Wednesday, January 3, 2018, with the first live racing program scheduled for Friday, January 12, 2018 at 5 p.m.
