Nichols, NY — As part of the “Back To The Track” promotion going on industry wide this weekend to push fans back to the grandstands for harness racing, Tioga Downs and Monticello Raceway are rolling out a new wager dubbed the “Dueling Doubles.”

The tracks are asking fans to select the winners of both tracks’ first, third, fifth and seventh races on Saturday’s card (August 14).

“It’s exciting to see most of the racetracks come together to promote racing again and make a push to get fans in the seats. We are happy to partner with Monticello Raceway to give our fans and their fans a new and exciting wager which helps both of our racetracks out in the process,” said Jason Settlemoir, VP of Racing and Simulcast.

Tioga Downs races on Friday and Saturday at 6:50 p.m., with a Sunday afternoon post time of 1:30 p.m. For more information visit www.tiogadowns.com.
