Pompano Beach, FL — A reminder to horsemen that the 2015-16 live racing season at the Isle Casino Pompano Park is quickly approaching, with opening night slated for Sunday (Oct. 4).

Stall applications have generated a lot of interest, with many horsemen looking to take advantage of the racing opportunities in sunny South Florida this winter. A reminder that stall applications are due by Friday (Aug. 28). The stable area opens on Sept. 8, with free stall rent being offered throughout the month of September. Stall applications can be found by clicking on this link.

One of the highlights of the new season will be several late-closing events to take place over the winter, including a return of the Isle of Capri Open series. The Isle of Capri series was last contested in 2008, where Mr Feelgood was victorious with a 1:49.4 win in the final.

There will be three legs each in the month of February for Open pacers, Open pacing mares, and Open trotters. All three Isle of Capri divisions will host a final on March 6, with the Open pacers going for $100,000 (est.) and the Open pacing mares and Open trotters going for $75,000 (est.). The series is open to all horses, with only winners of more than $200,000 in 2015 being excluded.

In total, there will be 19 different late-closing events offered over the winter for all different levels. A full late-closing schedule can be found later this week on our website, www.theislepompanopark.com.
