MR - MARCH POST TIMES AT 12:50PM; FRIDAY MARCH 2 ADDED TO RACING SCHEDULE


During the month of March Monticello Raceway will add an afternoon race card on Friday, March 2 and racing will continue on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays throughout the remainder of the month.
Beginning Thursday March 1st all post times will be at 12:50pm; twenty –five minutes later than during the previous months.

Among the events slated during March include the 11th annual St. Paddy Pace which will feature the talents of Irish-American harness drivers and will be presented on March 15th. That date was chosen because the Mighty M doesn’t race on Saturdays and St. Patrick’s Day, March 17 falls on a Saturday.
Simulcast wagering on thoroughbreds—as well as some other harness tracks—will be available during the afternoons while the evenings will largely be devoted to harness simulcasts.  

And of course, there’s also year-round gaming at the Monticello Casino and Raceway.
