Batavia, NY – Horsemen and racing fans alike should be advised that, due to a lighting issue requiring necessary repairs, Batavia Downs will be temporarily moving back the daily post time.
On Saturday, Oct. 10, and Wednesday, Oct. 14, post time will be at 3 p.m. (EDT), with the clubhouse opening at 2:30 p.m.
The qualifying races on Saturday, Oct. 10, will be held at 2 p.m.
On Monday, Oct. 11, the special holiday matinee card that was originally scheduled for 12:15 p.m., will remain at 12:15 p.m. There is no adjustment to the starting time of the Monday matinee program.
This temporary change on Saturday and Wednesday will allow crews the proper time to complete the repairs while the track continues to conduct the scheduled live racing programs in a safe manner and without interruption.
Upon completion of the needed work, post time will revert back to 5 p.m. for the remainder of the meet.
