Penn National Inaugurates 'Racing Festival'

Total purses of almost $1 million will be offered at Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course for what the track is calling the "Pennsylvania Governor's Cup Racing Festival" July 31-Aug. 1.

The stakes highlight is the $200,000 Pennsylvania Governor’s Cup for 3-year-olds and up at five furlongs on the turf. The 123-pound high weight is Penn National-based Fabuloius Strike, considered by some as the top sprinter in North America.
