The 138th season of harness racing at historic Bangor Raceway will get underway Sunday (April 11) with 66 horses competing in nine races with a first race post time of 12:15 p.m.

“It’s always exciting to get a new racing season underway, and this year with an earlier opening than in previous years we have made a few changes including an earlier post time on Sunday that will allow for more families to come and watch the races,” said Michael Hopkins, Manager of Racing Operations at Hollywood Casino Hotel & Raceway.

COVID-19 precautions including social distancing and mandatory masks for all visitors will be enforced.

Live racing will be conducted Wednesdays and Sundays through July 21 with no live racing on May 9 and 12. Post time for the Wednesday race cards will be 3 p.m. Independence Day (July 4) will feature a special evening race card and a special post time of 6 p.m. culminating with Bangor’s famous fireworks display over the waterfront.

The fall racing season will start on Sept. 7 and continue through Oct. 30 with live racing on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. The highlight of the fall meet will be the Oct. 16 Maine Sire Stakes finals.
