A ‘new look’ Buffalo Raceway opens Saturday

When Buffalo Raceway swings open its gate to begin the 55-day live harness racing meet on Saturday (March 2) starting at 6 p.m., fans on and off track will see a ‘new look’ at how the races are presented. Buffalo Raceway’s broadcasts will now be in high definition and will also have new graphics as well to complement the off-track and in-house feeds.

“I think the high definition and new graphics is really going to elevate the whole racing experience on- and off-track,” Buffalo Raceway Marketing Coordinator and Race Host Paige Usiak said. “High definition will now bring the track into the modern era. We’ve seen glimpses of the new look as technicians have installed it and fans are really going to like it.”

Usiak went on to say about the new look graphics, “It’s a simple and sleek design. Also, we will have a scroll on the bottom of the screen with information which will help people both on-track and all over the country.”

Buffalo Raceway General Manager Jon Cramer said of the upcoming season, “There’s a lot of excitement here. With a high definition broadcast, a full barn area, $100,000 in average daily overnight purses, and the completion of a more extensive track resurfacing project, we are really looking forward to the meet.”
