Suffolk OTB expands Racing Forum hours to keep fans connected to the sport they love
, /PRNewswire/ — Nighttime harness racing is making a return to center stage on Long Island. Suffolk OTB’s Racing Forum is now open until 10 p.m. every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, extending its previous 7:30 p.m. closing time and giving fans the opportunity to place more bets and experience an evening of live harness racing simulcasts.
The expanded schedule is designed to keep racing fans involved longer. By staying open through the evening, Suffolk OTB allows customers to remain connected to the action, watch more races and enjoy the excitement of harness racing from the opening race through closing at 10pm Thursday – Saturday. .

We want to continue creating an experience that brings fans closer to the racing action.”
The initiative reflects Suffolk OTB’s commitment to supporting the broader harness racing community by increasing access to nighttime racing and creating new opportunities to promote the sport. As part of that effort, Suffolk OTB will work with the Standardbred Owners Association of New York (SOA) on opportunities to enhance fan engagement, including horsemen interviews, promotional appearances and other initiatives that showcase the people and stories behind harness racing.
“The SOA is pleased and excited about the restoration of nighttime harness racing offerings by Suffolk OTB,” said Joe Faraldo, President of the Standardbred Owners Association of New York. “We look forward to a collaborative effort that promotes the sport, increases awareness and creates new opportunities for fans to engage with harness racing.”
