Harrington, DE — Harrington Raceway will begin its 66th season of live harness racing on Sunday April 22, 2012.

Delaware’s half-mile racetrack will race on a Sunday through Thursday until June 20, before a month long break until a special Governor’s Day program (post time TBA) during the Delaware State Fair on July 26. Live racing will resume on a Monday through Thursday schedule on August 13 before closing on Monday October 29 for a total of 90 racing days.

The Bobby Quillen Memorial is slated for Monday September 10 (eliminations) and September 17 (final). Last year’s winner, Foiled Again, went into the record books by becoming the oldest pacer at age 7 to earn more than $1 million in a season.

Post time will be 5:30 p.m. nightly.
