Entries can be brought to either of the two Welcome Centers, located at the finish line or in the Picnic Area, before race 5 (no purchase necessary). Winners must pick up tickets by July 16.

The Turf Club will offer a special Father’s Day Brunch. The cost is $55 for adults with half price for children under 12-years-old. To make reservations, call 732-229-2100.

The day’s live racing action will be headlined by the Grade 3, $100,000 Pegasus Stakes for 3-year-olds. Gates open on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. first post 12:50 p.m.
