Crete, IL — Balmoral Park will move to its “summer” racing schedule beginning this Tuesday, May 5. The Crete plant will now conduct live racing on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday at 7:20 p.m. (central) and on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. This schedule will be in effect until Oct. 31.

Fans will get the chance to bet into what should be a very inviting High 5 pool on Tuesday night as well after the wager was not hit on Sunday’s card. Therefore a carryover of $10,906 will be added to the pool and Balmoral officials are expecting Tuesday’s High 5 pool to be in excess of $40,000. The wager is conducted on the 10th race each night.
