mr - 45TH ANNUAL FIREWORKS DISPLAY SET FOR THURSDAY, JULY 4TH AT MONTICELLO RACEWAY

For the past 44 years Monticello Raceway has offered local fans the best Fireworks Show in Sullivan County (NY) and this year will be no exception.

On Thursday, July 4th the Raceway will stage its 45th Annual Fireworks Extravaganza after the races.  But that night the first post will be at 5:30p.m.
“The fireworks will be presented approximately 20 minutes after the racing program ends on July 4th,” said Shawn Wiles, the Raceway’s General Manager. “And since there is free admission to the entire facility it’s a great opportunity to come and see the fireworks close-up on the tracks apron where the best view is afforded.” 

The racing program that evening will feature 2-year-old filly pacers in the rich New York Sires Stakes program. Freshmen filly pacers will also adorn the undercard that night but that group will compete in the Excelsior Series.
Along with the live racing program that evening the Mighty M also offers simulcast wagering on both harness and thoroughbred races from tracks around the country and at some harness facilities in Canada.
