Applications can be obtained at buffaloraceway.com under 'Horsemen' and 'Forms' or picked up at the Western New York Harness Horsemen's Association office located at Batavia Downs. Applications are due December 17.
Opening night of the 66-day meet is set for January 26, 2022 and will continue each Wednesday and Saturday with a first post time of 6 p.m. Fridays are added in April along with a switch to afternoon racing. The full schedule is posted on the website.
Race Secretary Tom Agosti says there will be an increase in daily purses. Additionally, the ABC system in place for the past few seasons will be replaced with a new hybrid ABC-condition set of classes.
