Pocono Call For Grey/Roan Pacers
The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono is still searching for a few more grey or roan pacers for its Grey Ghost and Poltergeist Pace.
Scheduled for Tuesday, October 30 – which as been dubbed ‘Mischief Night’ – it will be the perfect night for the ghostly greys to ‘appear’ on the Wilkes Barre, PA track.
The race will once again be sponsored by the Harness Racing Museum and Hall of Fame in Goshen, NY.
The winning horse will be presented with his or her trophy by children of Pocono horsepeople in costume. The Winner’s Circle will be sporting some spooky decor to set the mood for the race. Children in costume are welcome! There will be face painting; free candy; and children can choose and paint their own pumpkin. All the activities will get underway at 5:00 p.m., so get to the track early for the fun.
Post time for the night card will be at 7:00 p.m. and the race number is to be announced. Expect the unexpected in post parade, as in the past a few drivers have been replaced with strange and scary creatures of the night!
Anyone interested in being a part of the fun event with their grey or roan should contact Jennifer Starr at 570-831-2195 as soon as possible.
