New Jersey craft beers from Screamin Hill, Toms River, Ross and Kane breweries will be featured throughout the live racing season in Grandstand Level 1 Trackside. Beer from those breweries will also be available in the newly-renovated Dining Club (which now includes the Salvator Grille), at the Lady’s Secret Café and in the parterre suites.
Wine connoisseurs will find a new list of offerings in the Dining Club, parterres and at Lady’s Secret Café, ranging from sparkling wines to rose, reds and whites.
For the first time, New Jersey-based winery Cedar Rose will be represented at the track, producing under the Wine Appellation Outer Coastal Plain.
The Dining Club will now feature daily buffets with multiple stations and a different menu each day.
Four straight days of live racing will kick off the 53-day meet over the Memorial Day weekend, starting with a 5 p.m. first post time on Friday, May 28. Post times on Saturdays, Sundays and special Monday holiday cards is 12:15 p.m.

Starting on June 4, one of the new features during twilight cards on Fridays will be $2 beer specials in the picnic area.
Reservations for the parterres, Dining Club and Picnic area buffet are available through SeatGeek.
