Please note that this is the first posting of the 2019 allocations and may be subject to minor adjustments.
Questions or concerns should be brought to the attention of Race Secretary Nancy Byrge or Racing Manager Ben Blum.
Running Aces staff and management is excited to welcome back all of our returning horsemen and to also welcome a few new faces to our racing family as well as we get set to kick off our 12th season of live harness racing.
It's an exciting time at Running Aces as we continue to grow, with construction well underway on our Hotel adjacent to the Casino and Racetrack at the top of the stretch. Construction is also in full swing to reconfigure our track apron area which will have a brand new look and flow for this season, and will see more changes later on in an effort to enhance the guest experience and offer more options and better hospitality.
Our 2019 season will also offer record purses, with the largest purse package in the track's history up for grabs over the 52 night season.
The Stable area and track will open on Saturday, May 4. The 2019 season will kick off on Saturday, May 18, with racing 3 nights per week through Sept. 14.
The first session of qualifiers will be held on Saturday, May 11 at 5:00 pm, and entries will be due by 10:00 a.m. on Friday, May 10. For the early stages of the meet, qualifiers will be offered on both Tuesdays and Saturdays, as in recent years.
There is a change in the training schedule for 2019: the track will be closed on Wednesdays and will be open on Thursdays.
There is also a change to the draw schedule for 2019 as well, with a double draw taking place on Thursdays for the Saturday and Sunday cards, with driver selections/changes due immediately after the draw is published. The draw for Tuesday cards remains on Saturdays. The box closes at 10 a.m. on draw days.
We thank everyone for their interest in participating in our 2019 season and look forward to seeing everyone very soon.
