Monticello NY — Beginning Monday (Nov. 4) and continuing throughout the remainder of the year, all post times for the live racing cards at Monticello Raceway will be at 12:25 p.m.

The raceway will continue with its four day a week schedule throughout the month of November with racing on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

“Because of the change to Eastern Standard Time we will begin our racing programs one-half hour earlier beginning Nov. 4,” noted track general manager Shawn Wiles. “We annually set post times back during this time of the year in an effort to get our racing programs completed during the daylight hours.”

Simulcast wagering on Thoroughbreds — as well as some other harness tracks — is available during the afternoons while the evenings are largely devoted to harness simulcasts.

And of course, there’s also gaming at the Mighty M.
