Joining De Francis on the July 16 show were Alma North S. $100,000, Big Dreyfus S. $100,000 and Prince George’s County S. $100,000.
The 37-day Summer Meeting opens on Friday and runs through August 21. Races will be conducted on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays during the summer meeting, with time after 12:40 pm. There will be a special program for Independence Day Monday, July 4.
