Cal Expo receives harness dates for 2009

Fresh off the good news of the first million-dollar handle for the current fall meet this past Friday night, the California Exposition & State Fair (Cal-Expo) announced its 2009 harness dates.

“We are pleased to announce that Cal-Expo will continue to offer harness racing in 2009,” said Dave Elliott, Assistant General Manager and Director of Racing for Cal-Expo.  “In addition to us closing out the year with racing on Friday, Dec. 26, and Saturday, Dec. 27, we will also be offering 148 cards of harness racing next year.

“Our plans are now to increase our weekly cards from three to four nights per week in January, and continue that schedule through April, all with the hopes that there are enough horses to keep the cards filled.  And given the amount of horses in the box over the last month, which has resulted in more races per card, one would think we should be able to fill those cards.”
