At 1h32, on April 13, 2024 • By PLAINRIDGE PARK
Live harness racing returns to Massachusetts on Monday (April 15) at 4 p.m. when Plainridge Park kicks off its 2024 season with the best horses, drivers and trainers from New England reconvening for the next eight months over the lightning fast five-eighths-mile oval. The meet runs through Friday (Nov. 29).
The 110 day racing schedule for 2024 starts with a Monday-Tuesday-Thursday rotation from April through September, except for Tuesday (July 23), which is dark. There is also a special 2 p.m. matinee card on Sunday (July 21) for Spirit of Massachusetts Day.
Racing expands to four days a week for the rest of the meet when Friday is added on Sept. 20, with the exception of the track being dark on Thursday (Nov. 28) in observance of Thanksgiving. That race day will be contested on Wednesday (Nov. 27).
Post time for all race days from April through August is 4 p.m. (except for Sunday, July 23). In September and October post time rolls back to 2 p.m. and in November, it moves back one more time to 1 p.m.
