The Meadows Racetrack announced that it has added two live cards — Thursday, July 29, which will extend Adios Week to six consecutive days, and Saturday, October 16, when the track will again host the Pennsylvania Fair Finals
.
With the addition of the July 29 program, Adios Week now will begin Monday, July 26, with Grand Circuit racing each day through Saturday, July 31, when the final of the $750,000 (est.) Delvin Miller Adios will be contested. First-race post time Monday, Tuesday and Saturday is 12:55 p.m., with Wednesday, Thursday and Friday cards underway at 6:55 p.m.
The fair finals, which the Meadows staged last year to a receptive audience, include championships in all eight divisions for two and three-year-olds, with roughly $200,000 in total purses. First post on October 16 is 12:55 p.m.
To accommodate the additions, the Meadows will not conduct live racing on Tuesday, August 31.
The Pennsylvania Harness Racing Commission has approved the modified schedule.
