Harrington Raceway’s 78th season debuts Monday

At 1h24, on April 8, 2024 By HARRINGTON RACEWAY

Harrington Raceway’s 78th season of live harness racing will commence Monday (April 8) with a 15-race program starting at 4:30 p.m.

Live racing will be conducted primarily on a Monday through Wednesday schedule throughout the season with a customary summer break in July and early August.

The wagering menu will feature superfectas in most races and an early and late Pick-4. Both bets have a 50-cent base amount and maintain the propensity to build quickly as there is a 100 percent carryover to the next available wager of that type if no winning tickets are sold. The early Pick-4 is race two, while the late Pick-4 is the last four races nightly.

Four-time defending driving champ Allan Davis leads a competitive driving colony while three-time defending trainer champion Joe Columbo heads the conditioners.

The opening day feature is the $22,500 Open for pacers, slated as the sixth race. Brendan Davis’ Trojan Banner N (5-2, Tyler Davis) was installed as the morning line favorite and looks to extend his win streak to four after winning three straight weeks in a $50,000 claiming handicap at Bally’s Dover.
