As always, one of the core attractions at the Cumberland Fair is our Harness Racing program – which has been on-going since we started on Main Street in Cumberland in 1871! We’ve gotten away from racing down Main Street though, and look forward to another exciting line-up for you for the 141st Annual Cumberland County Fair!
****Racing under the Lights is back for 2012!!!**** Monday night 9/24/12 and Friday night 9/28/12, post time will be at 7pm – find your way to the Grandstands to enjoy an exciting lineup of great Harness Racing!
On Opening Day, Sunday, September 23, post time is 1:30 pm, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we will post at 3pm, Saturday as we conclude the regular Fair post time will be 1:30 pm, and as always, we will offer an extended meet with Free Admission on Sunday, September 30th at 1:30 pm.
The Maine Harness Racing Sire program features all races with outstanding Maine Bred Horses racing for $10,000 per dash. We’ve still got room for more Blanket Sponsors as well - Each race sponsored keeps the racing going, which in turn helps the economy. Keeping Harness racing alive in Maine secures jobs of all kinds in all walks of life. From farmers to gas stations and vets to farriers, from sand and gravel companies to banks, equestrians... Consider sponsoring a race for 2012 – we have 8 total race days, each with between 10-12 races a day – consider sponsorship to help support Maine Harness Racing for years to come! We’re looking forward to a great week of classic Harness Racing and hope to have everyone find a part in enjoying it!
