Treat Mom to a delicious all-you-can-eat brunch buffet in Pink, the track’s tiered dining restaurant. Executive Chef Dennis Sammarone, a well-known veteran of the New York City dining scene, has created a fantastic Mother’s Day Pink Buffet.

Pink’s $44.95 buffet opens at 11:30 a.m. Dishes will include brunch favorites such as French toast and Cajun-style potato knishes, entrees like mom’s homemade meatballs and ravioli, honey baked turkey along with chicken fingers for the kids, and assorted ice creams, cakes and cookies for dessert. All Mom’s receive a pink rose and a mimosa. Reservations are strongly recommended before this event sells out. Please call 201.843.2446.

There will be plenty of excitement on the track as the harness race card features the inaugural $150,000 Mack Lobell Elitlopp Playoff. The race features North America’s top trotters all vying for an invite to Sweden’s Elitlopp, one of the most prestigious races in Europe.

Off the track, 10 lucky contestants will get the chance to dig for jewelry, trips for two to a NJ Bed & Breakfast and cash in the popular Diamond Dig promotion. Entries will be taken until race six at the promotions table. Ten contestants will be given a plastic scoop and the chance to dig for prizes (no hands) through one of two sand-filled pools. Total prize value is more than $16,000.

The fun continues with Horseplay. Buy a mini rubber horse for $1 with all proceeds in the month of May donated to the Team Red, White and Blue, and throw the horse into the car after race nine for a chance to win entry into the August 6 car drawing for a 2016 Scion.
