Charity to be the winner at Plainridge RacecourseFriday, July 27, 2012 - from Plainridge Racecourse

Plainville, MA --- Plainridge Racecourse will race five special Saturday afternoon programs, beginning on July 28. And when it does, the track will present one of its most ambitious and interactive promotions.
The Plainville Community Challenge will feature individuals from businesses and organizations located in Plainville, Mass. competing against one another in a series of exhibition races. For the next four Saturdays, two events will be contested on each card, which will yield a total of eight winners.

This "Elite Eight" will then square off on Saturday August 25, with the top four moving on to the final, which will be part of the Bert Beckwith Day festivities on Monday Sept. 3.

Each entity will be competing for a designated charity, and all money won during the entire competition will be donated during a Beckwith Day ceremony.

“At this time we plan on having some fun with our local community and to help out some local organizations,” Plainridge General Manager Steve O’Toole said.

The contestants on the opening Saturday will be the Plainville Lions Club and the Plainville Athletic League. In the weeks to come action will feature competition between employees and/or patrons of local bars, restaurants and stores, etc.

Post Time for the Saturday cards will be at 1 p.m., eastern. Because Plainridge has added these five special Saturday programs, there will be no racing on Tuesdays until further notice.
