When racing dates for 2012 are submitted to the New Jersey Racing Commission, Freehold Raceway is expected to ask for 90 days

.

Under the proposed calendar, Freehold would be dark in January and February. A three-day-a-week schedule of Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays would be offered in March, April and May. Freehold would be dark in June, July and most of August, returning for a fall meet that starts on August 30 and continues through December 22, 2012.

The only variations to the Thursday-through-Saturday schedule would be live racing offered on Labour Day (September 3) and a dark day on Thanksgiving (November 22).
