Pompano Back in Business

November 15, 2005

After being closed for nearly one month due to damage from Hurricane Wilma, Pompano Park opens some of its doors for simulcasting on Thursday, November 17.

“Patrons will be able to watch and wager on a total of 18 different signals Thursday starting at 12:30 pm,” said general manager Dick Feinberg. “We will have part of the second floor open and all of the third floor for simulcasting every day. It will be great to have customers back in the building.”

Another surprise took place in the make shift race office Wednesday morning as 299 horses were entered for the non-wagering matinee races schedule for Saturday. With so many horses entered, part of the race program will also be raced on Monday. There are a total of 34 races programmed, all competing for purses, plus four qualifying races for horses not yet eligible to compete in a purse race. On Saturday 20 of the matinee races start at 11:00 am, EST. On Monday, the remaining 14 races will start at 11 am EST.

Work continues at the track for the tentative December 2 reopening for live racing.
