Post time for the Kentucky Derby card at Scarborough Downs is slated for 2:00 PM (EDT) on Saturday May 4, culminating with the simulcast of the 139th running of the Kentucky Derby at 6:24 PM.
Donations will be solicited from the wagering public during Saturday’s card to enhance the One Fund – Boston, a fund established to benefit the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings. Proceeds from the running of three divisions of Maine Amateur Driving Club events (races 7, 8 and 10) will be donated to the fund. The first of these races will go to post at approximately 3:50 PM.
A total of $1900 has already been pledged to this effort from the Maine Harness Racing industry, including; Scarborough Downs, The New England Harness Writers Association, The RACE ME PAC, the Maine Harness Horsemen’s Association and the Maine Standardbred Breeders and Owners Association.
