Harness
racing returns to Cal Expo Saturday night under the Watch and Wager LLC banner
with a 14-race program on tap and a first post of 6:15 p.m.
Racing
will be conducted on Saturday nights in October, expanding to Saturday and
Sunday programs in November. Plans then call for a three-night a week schedule
beginning on December 26 with Friday racing added to the mix.
Heading
the opening-night card are two divisions each of the opening legs of the Bill
Conlin and Annette Funicello Pacing series; an Open II event for the pacers and
an Open II contest for the trotters.
Robin
Schadt is the new Director of Racing. “My goal is to produce a racing program
where every horseman gets their horses raced on a regular basis for decent
money and to provide the betting public with competitive fields on which to
wager,” she said.
