OTF returns again to Horsemen's Park!!

Posted on 07/15/09

We've been looking forward to this week for some time! It's become one of the premier annual summer parties when the thoroughbreds return to Omaha for the live racing meet held at Horsemen's Park, located at 6303 Q St.

Whether you're a racing fan who remembers when Ak-sar-ben was jumping or you happen to be unfamiliar with the sights and sounds of live horse racing, this week promises to be fun and exciting for everyone!! Here is the schedule of events: We kick off the music at 5p, and the first race post time is 6p. There are 4 races on Thursday and 5 races on Friday. You can find a table in the air conditioned clubhouse or grab a seat under the outdoor tent or pick out a spot along the rail and feel the power as the horses round the turn! On The Fritz will provide music between races and also after the final race.

There are plenty of food and beverage vendors on hand to satisfy whatever craving you may have and the party continues until around 10p on Thursday and 11p on Friday!!

This is another free, all-ages event with plenty of free parking and shuttle service to and from your vehicle. Crowds exceed 10,000 on Thursday and 15,000 on Friday making this the place to be this weekend - we hope you don't miss out on this great time!
