Dresden Raceway is geared up for the final race day of their 2018 season by hosting a “Clean Out the Closet Day” this Friday night (Aug. 10).
The 151-year-old half-mile track will start the night by giving cooler bags to the first 100 patrons through the doors compliments of Gateway Casinos and continue the night giving away t-shirts, hats and gift certificates to complement the usual assortment of prizes.
Post time for Friday evening’s card of racing is 5 p.m. The program is a make-up date from the July 22 card that was rained out.
Driver Tyler Borth has had a banner year at Dresden, dominating as the leading dash driver with 35 wins in just 11 days of racing and earning $106,000 in purses. Garrett Rooney is second in the driver’s standings with 16 wins.
Mike Carther is the leading trainer with 13 wins in 30 starts this season and over $35,000 in purses.
Dresden Raceway’s 10-race card will bring to an end another great season of harness racing action. Total handle is up almost $28,000 from last year and attendance is up over 2,000 people from last year. The increase marks the fourth straight year Dresden Raceway has seen increases in both handle and attendance.
