The racing season starts in October and ends in April each year. About 300 horses participate. It takes place one day a week with six races a day with an average field of 9 runners. Five races are formed for thoroughbreds and one for Arabians; forty percent of the races are reserved for imported thoroughbreds, forty five percent for local thoroughbreds and fifteen percent for the Arabians.
There are no entrance or parking fees and the food venues are very inexpensive. This is a great way to see the animals we love, spend a pleasant afternoon, and see the competition for little or no expense.
