Getting closer to Opening Day at Emerald Downs, Saturday May 6! That's also Kentucky Derby day so make plans to be here for the season's first race at 1 pm. The next of our popular live music nights, "Dancing At the Downs," is Saturday night, April 8, with an Aerosmith tribute band. "Training Day" on youtube.com begins next week, March 23. Emerald Downs is open for full card simulcasting seven days a week while the Quarter Chute Cafe's schedule is Wednesday through Sunday.
Guests include trainer Mike Puhich, in action this Saturday at Oaklawn Park. His local horse-owning clients Bob & Molly Rondeau and Tom Lambro have Call Me Fast in the $500k Essex Handicap. The Rondeau's have added value Saturday with 2021 Longacres Mile hero Backround, entered in the seventh race. Another Washington native joins the 'cast, Ed Moger Jr., trainer of recent Santa Anita Handicap-gr1 winner Stilleto Boy. The horse was purchased by brother Steve two years ago and is up to $1.7 million in earnings.
