Shenandoah Downs Fall Harness Racing

Shenandoah Downs is in its eleventh fall season of pari-mutuel harness racing thru November 1 with cards every Saturday & Sunday at 1:05 PM. 

A four-pack of Virginia Breeders divisional championships highlight closing weekend festivities on October 31. Prep races for each series will be contested the weekend of  24/25 (Breeders).    

Every Sunday, fans can enjoy $1 hot dogs and $2 canned beer and enter a free "Pick the Horses" handicapping contest with $250 in cash prizes. The winner of each Sunday's contest will take home the top prize of $125 and get a chance to "Own a Horse for a Day" November 1 and win their share of a $5,000 purse. The popular promotion is sponsored by the Virginia Harness Horse Association (VHHA).          

Shenandoah Downs is located in the quaint town of Woodstock off I-81 at Exit 283 halfway between Harrisonburg and Winchester. Harness racing has been featured at the Shenandoah County Fairgrounds for 110 years.
