🐴 TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY 🐴

🐎 We are looking forward to having everyone join us for the 25th anniversary of the Legacy Chase at Shawan Downs! The course is set and ready to host.

🐎 Here are some reminders for race day tomorrow along with a few additional notes.

🎟️ Do not forget to PRINT your parking pass at home and have it displayed on your dashboard for the parking attendants. Founders Hill parking will be available for purchase at the gate for $80. CASH ONLY.

🌧️ The weather seems to be quickly changing. Make sure to dress appropriately! The ground is still a bit wet from the weather earlier in the week so sensible shoes are a must.

💨 If there is a strong wind, pop up tents will not be allowed in Railside parking for safety reasons. There are no pop up tents allowed on the Finish Line.

🎪 The tents on Founders Hill are PRIVATE EVENTS. Do not be a party crasher, nobody likes party crashers.

🐎 ENJOY THE DAY!! 🐎
