Emerald Downs News & Notes - April 7

 FRIDAY'S 2010 OPENER INCLUDES 40 FLAT-SCREEN TV'S

Fans attending Friday night's season opener—post time 6 p.m.—will have an excellent chance to drive home with a beautiful brand new 32-inch TV.

For the second straight year Emerald Downs will give away 40 flat-screen TV sets—five after each race—as the track celebrates the opening of its 15th season. The only catch is you must be 18-or-older and present to win.

Trainer Larry Ross and former Seattle Post-Intelligencer turf writer Dick Rockne were among last year's winners. Entry blanks will be distributed at all admission gates.
