Tom Harris is back as Track Announcer at Emerald Downs! Harris, the always popular race caller, had the EmD job from 2018-21 and speaks to his long announcing history and return to Auburn. Jon White is also a guest, now as a new member in the Washington Thoroughbred Hall of Fame. White has worked in racing since 1974, the past 40+ in California, but has never forgotten his northwest roots. He’s been an ever-present contributor in the Emerald Downs era in radio, tv, internet and print. With morning training underway at Emerald Downs, the Quarter Chute Café is open Wednesday through Sunday until 2 pm. The 2024 season begins on Saturday, May 4. Emerald Downs 5th Floor is open seven days a week for full card simulcasting with the popular Quick Pix food and beverage stand open longer on Saturday and Sunday, until 6 pm.
