Come and enjoy a great time of horse racing fun and excitement. We have 10 amazing races for your chance to win cash! And, of course, there will be the ever-popular “auction race.” All races are shown on a large screen! You will feel like you are at the track, cheering your horse on to the winner's circle!

You can bet on your favorite horse and win cash or – even better – be the owner of the horse (or a stable of horses) at only $5 per horse, and you get to name your steed! Enjoy the thrill (and $25) when your horse wins the race!

BYOB! Light buffet and setups are included in the ticket price. Tickets are $10 per person in advance or $15 at door. You must be at least 21 years of age.
