Beginning Monday, March 3 and continuing with just one exception through
October 31 all post times at Monticello Raceway will be at 12:50 pm. The
exception occurs on Friday night July 4 when
post time will be at 5:30pm to allow for the annual fireworks extravaganza
after the races.
Live racing during the
month of March will continue four
times weekly on the afternoons of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
“Now that the days are getting longer we will be able to
begin our programs a little later in the afternoon and still complete our race
cards prior to the darkness,” said General Manager, Shawn Wiles.
Simulcast wagering on thoroughbreds—as well as some
other harness tracks—will be available during the afternoons while the evenings
are largely devoted to harness simulcasts.
