London,
November 28, 2014 -- The holiday racing season is underway at The Raceway in
London and race fans are reminded of some important dates during the month of
December at the London oval.
The
traditional Boxing Day program on December 26 will once again begin at 1:15
p.m. and The Raceway has slated an 8:00 p.m. first post for its New
Year’s Eve program on December 31. There are plenty of promotions and
dining options available both days and, with free parking and admission, it’s a
great way for locals to come on out and enjoy the holiday festivities.
The Raceway
is planning to increase the wagering incentives during some of the key dates
during what is traditionally a strong wagering month for the track.
“In
additional to Boxing Day and New Year’s eve, the Tuesday programs on the 23rd
and 30th should be strong and we’re hoping to have a couple of
additional races each of these nights to bolster the wagering opportunities,”
said Racing Manager Greg Blanchard. “We’ll be bumping up the guarantees on our
Pick-4 pools those nights as well and, in conjunction with Horseplayer
Interactive (HPI), will be partnering on an exciting promotion involving our
programs on the 23rd and 31st (New Year’s Eve).”
Seating at
the Top of the Fair Dining Room is going fast for both Boxing Day and New
Year’s Eve. To make reservations, call 519-438-7203 (ext. 252) or email topofthefair@westernfairdistrict.com.
The
Raceway’s annual Toy Drive is also underway. Patrons can drop off a new,
unwrapped gift in The Raceway lobby from now until December 16, with donations
going to the Salvation Army Hamper Program for less fortunate children in the
city.
The launch
of a new weekly Survivor Handicapping Challenge will take place next Tuesday
evening. Survivor Tuesdays, sponsored by Horseplayer Interactive (HPI), will
happen each Tuesday at The Raceway and will be free to play for customers on
track and online.
Pub
Nights have been proving popular at The Raceway on Monday nights and a
new promotional twist has been added over the holiday season. Each purchase of
a meal enters customers for a chance to win a weekly Molson prize pack along
with the chance to win a pair of tickets to the Toronto Maple Leafs/Tampa Bay
Lightning game scheduled for March 31st in Toronto.
