Washington, PA — The Meadows Racetrack & Casino has introduced a text message service to alert horsemen to opportunities to race.

On draw days, the race secretary’s office will use the service to inform trainers of which races remain to be filled and the conditions of those races. The service also may be used for conveyance of other timely, important information.

The service will help horsemen race their stock regularly while enabling The Meadows to continue to offer full, competitive fields.

To register, send MEADOWS to 84700. (Standard rates apply). For additional information, call the race secretary’s office at 724.225.9897.
