Harrah's Chester Casino & Racetrack has announced it will open its inaugural season of harness racing on Sunday, Sept. 10, with racing every Sunday, Monday and Thursday afternoon. The 45-day meet--which will run through Monday, Dec. 18--will have a daily post time of 12:45 p.m.



Located six miles south of the Philadelphia International Airport, the racetrack at Harrah's Chester is a five-eighths mile oval that runs parallel to the Delaware River. The grandstand seats 1,500, with a 20,000-square foot outdoor deck. The paddock was built to accommodate 15 races.



"We can't wait for opening day to arrive," said Vince Donlevie, Harrah's Chester senior vice president and general manager. "We've been impressed by the amount of interest, both locally and nationally, that this project has generated, and we're committed to presenting top flight harness racing in a setting that's second to none."



There will be no live racing on Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, Nov. 23). A special live card of racing will be presented on Saturday, Nov. 4, to coincide with the planned simulcast of the Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships. Simulcasting will be offered every day except for Christmas (Monday, Dec. 25).
