Pompano Beach, FL — This is a final reminder that stall applications for the upcoming Pompano Park racing season are due by Thursday (Aug. 25).

The 126-night session begins Oct. 2 and will feature 15 lucrative Late-Closing events, including three with purses estimated to exceed $100,000, those being for Open Pacers, Open Trotters and Open Pacing Fillies and Mares.

Total purses for the late closing events are estimated at $680,000 with all events having two legs and a final.

Information on these late-closing events can be found on the Isle website, including dates and nominating fees.

In addition to the late-closing events, Pompano Park will also offer “Pop-Up” events featuring a quick leg and a race-off featuring an enhanced purse.

These Pop-Up events are carded when there is an abundance of horses in certain overnight classes with the likelihood that multiple divisions will result. There are no nominating fees to these events.
