Atlantic City Racetrack Opens Thursday, April 16th.
Atlantic City Racecourse kicks off its annual six day “Jersey Turf Festival.” on Thursday. Each of the next three weeks, the Mays Landing track will conduct live racing on Thursday and Friday with six races to be run each day with a new first post time of 3:30 PM. As in the past, all the races will be run on the beautiful turf course at Atlantic City, something that has led to nice, big fields of extremely competitive racing. The turf course this year celebrates its 61st anniversary.
The centerpiece of the six day meeting will be the $50,000-added Tony Gatto Dream Big Stakes. The race named in memory of the longtime, beloved Plant Supervisor at A.C. was first contested in 2006 and will again be run this year at five furlongs. The Gatto will be the feature on closing day, May 1st.
Racing fans will have larger betting pools to bet into this year. For the first time in 10 years, the signal will be simulcast to other facilities. In previous years, the races could only be bet in person at Atlantic City. Philadelphia Park patrons will be able to watch and wager the Atlantic City races at their favorite Turf Club, the Racetrack or with Philadelphia Park Phonebet.

Also for the first time, food and beverage sales during the six day meet will benefit Oakcrest High School Marching Ambassadors. The Hooters Girls will also make an appearance. They will be at the track on Friday, April 24th. Post time this year for all six days is 3:30 PM.

Local Comcast customers can watch the races on PhonebetTV.

Please be advised that PhonebetTV has been moved to Comcast channel 716.
