Dover Preps For 45th Anniversary

Published: October 10, 2014 12:32 am EDT

Dover Downs’ 45th season opens on Sunday, November 1, 2014. The annual six-month long meet continues, five days a week, through April 9, 2015 featuring top horses, top stables and top drivers.

Live racing will be contested Sundays through Thursdays during November and December with Friday and Saturday 'dark' days. Once more, weekday racing begins at 4:30 p.m. with Sunday post time at 5:30 p.m.

Again, Dover Downs will feature a lucrative stakes schedule . Traditionally, the lucrative Progress Pace, eight Matron Stakes Finals and four Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund two-year-old divisions event are the highlight events of a stakes-heavy November and December racing program.

There is no charge for admission or parking at Dover Downs. Reservations are suggested for the Winner’s Circle Restaurant by phoning 302-764-4600. Due to strong weekend bookings at the 4-Star Dover Downs Hotel, horsemen desiring to stay overnight are urged to make reservations early.
