Harrah's Philadelphia: Racing season extended through December 31

Officials at Harrah's Philadelphia have announced that the current meet will be extended through Dec. 31, 2020.

The Pennsylvania State Horse Racing Commission has approved an additional four racing programs to be contested at Harrah's Philadelphia following the originally scheduled closing day of Dec. 20. The additional dates are:

• Wednesday, Dec. 23 (12:25 p.m. first post)
• Thursday, Dec. 24 (12 noon first post)
• Sunday, Dec. 27 (12:40 p.m. first post)
• Thursday, Dec. 31 (6:50 p.m. first post)

"We're pleased to be able to work with the Pennsylvania Harness Horsemen's Association on adding these additional days," said Barry Brown, director of racing operations at Harrah's Philadelphia. "After the loss of the days early in the season due to COVID-19, this gives our horsemen some additional opportunities to race before the end of the year."
