Vernon seeks entries for Rewind and War Horse races

Vernon, NY — Vernon Downs wraps up its 2018 racing season Friday (Nov. 2) and Saturday (Nov. 3) and has multiple unique races written for closing weekend.

This coming weekend we turn the clocks back one hour and in an annual tradition since 2011, with exception of 2017 when it didn’t fill, Vernon Downs turns its horses around. “Turn Back the Clock” rewind races are written for horses at a distance of seven-eighths of a mile in the clockwise direction.

With two 14-year-old horses still competing at Vernon Downs going into closing weekend, two “War Horse” events have been written as well. Each event is for 10-year-olds and older with lifetime starts and money requirements.

Condition sheet for closing weekend can be accessed via our website www.vernondowns.com/racing or through the USTA.
