From the OHHA
In conjunction with the Ohio State Fair stakes races that serve as the first leg of the Ohio Triple Crown, the Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association is hosting a TV and Tickets giveaway and Youth Night at Eldorado Scioto Downs on Saturday (Aug. 1).
Great prizes will be up for grabs in the TV and Tickets giveaway. The five grand prizes include tickets to a major college football game, 55-inch television, Roku stick, and a one-month subscription to Racetrack Television Network. The contest is free to enter and open to anyone 18 years and older. No purchase is required, but participants must be present to win. Entry forms will be available at the OHHA table. There is a limit of one entry per person, and each entry is limited to one prize.
Participants will be selected randomly from the entry drum before each of the five designated giveaway races. The number of participants will be based on the number of horses in each giveaway race. Those selected will draw an envelope that will have the name of a horse for the corresponding race. If that horse wins, the contestant will win the prize package. All other contestants will receive a prize for participating.
The Youth Night gathering, held from 5:30-9 p.m., welcomes kids to participate in paddock tours and horseshoe decorating while getting immersed in the exciting world of harness racing. Current OHHA youth members who bring their membership ID will receive a free T-shirt.
Scioto Downs is hosting several other family-friendly activities that night, including a bounce house, petting zoo, and Corgi races.
First-race post time for Saturday’s 16-race card is 5:25 p.m.
