“We can't guarantee it, but we're certainly hoping that it at least gives the race a shot to draw a mare or two that have been just reluctant to go a mile and a quarter.' 'We're hoping the distance - the 16th of a mile difference - will make a difference in the attraction,” said Doro. The race this year will be different from those in the past as it will be contested at a mile and three sixteenths instead of the traditional mile and a quarter.ĭoro says the hope is that change will help attract top contenders. The crown jewel of the schedule is the $500,000 Delaware Handicap Saturday, July 8th which highlights the stake schedule worth $2.25 million. So we're trying to just grow that,' said Doro. Prior to that we had been a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday schedule, and Saturday, and we tried Friday's last year.

There are some Friday’s with no racing at the end of July and in August, and the first and last Friday of the season.ĭelaware Park Director of Racing Jed Doro says the schedule is the same as last year, but it’s changed from the track’s traditional schedule.

The season gets underway on Wednesday May 24th, and it will conclude on Saturday, October 28th with the live racing schedule generally conducted on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Delaware Park announces its schedule for the 86th season of live racing.
