Officials with Running Aces are preparing for the track’s ninth season of live racing, which will get underway on May 17.

Stall Applications and initial conditions have now been posted to the Running Aces website.

All applications are due no later than March 25 and will be allocated on April 1. With limited stalls available, Running Aces requests timely submissions of those interested in stalls on the grounds.

“Running Aces’ 2016 live racing season builds upon a strong foundation established last year,” said Taro Ito, president and CEO, “with our restructured racing team, an enhanced calendar of racing days, and exciting new wagering opportunities, we continue to explore new and creative ideas to improve our product and experience for the horsemen and fans.”

Running Aces will race May 17 – September 3 with first-race post times on Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays at 6:00 p.m. (CT), adding Wednesdays to complete the four-day schedule beginning July 27 at 7:00 p.m.
