OZONE PARK, N.Y. – The tropics will come to Aqueduct Racetrack on Saturday, March 3 when the track hosts Corona Extra Caribbean Day.
As part of the festivities, patrons can enter a free drawing for a $1,000 travel voucher, courtesy of Manhattan Beer and Crown Imports. The drawing will be held at 3 p.m. and the winner will be posted on NYRA TV and at the contest table on the first floor near the escalators. Entry is restricted to customers 21-years-old and up, with one entry per person and no purchase necessary.
The Island Breeze steel drum band will perform in the main lobby from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m., with wandering performers to share their tropical sounds on the first and second floors. In addition, the Equestris Restaurant will offer a Caribbean-style buffet.
The tropical merriment will extend to the racetrack as Aqueduct will present the $75,000 Corona Extra Kings Point for New York-bred routers. The day will also feature the Grade 3, $400,000
