Race Meeting Extension Sought for Charles Town Holiday Season
A group of Charles Town businessmen petitioned the West Virginia State Racing Commission to extend the Charles Town Jockey Club eighteen day race meeting to include the holiday season. The original dates run from December 2 to December 21. Signers argue extension would boost Christmas trade as about 3,000 residents live there during sessions and the meet attracts the largest winter attendance east of the Rockies.
