Harness Racing Thanksgiving Weekend Stakes Feast At The Meadowlands

Date: November 24, 2018
Time: 6:26 pm  to  11:26 pm

Thanksgiving weekend provides horseplayers with a feast of stakes races to watch and wager from tracks around the country. On the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend, The Meadowlands hosts one of their biggest race programs of the year. Fans can wager the action at any of the four Virginia Bets Off Track Betting (OTB) Centers at Breakers Sports Grille (Henrico County), Ponies & Pints (Richmond), Buckets Bar & Grill (Chesapeake) and The Windmill OTB Sports Grill (Collinsville/Martinsville).

Please note — the OTBs will be closed on Thanksgiving Day — the bars/restaurants themselves may be open though — just not the betting aspect.
