WELCOME TO BATAVIA DOWNS AMERICA’S OLDEST LIGHTED HARNESS TRACK

Warm Up Policy

No horse trailers are allowed past Barns 7 and 10—1-1/2 hours before post time of the first race. No exceptions.

After dropping off in barn area, please park trailer in short term parking lot.

No trailers are allowed to park in the road where back gate security shed is located or in the stable area with the exception of parking in front of Barn 9. The ship-in barn rotation this season is Barn 10 (west), both sides of Barn 12 and Barn 8 (east).

We have a six-race paddock.

Horses in the first six races are permitted to enter the paddock beginning 1-1/2 hours before the first scheduled post time.

Please see Paddock schedule for exact times. Paddock times provided in Race Office and Paddock Office.

After the sixth race, all horsemen must follow the designated paddock times. Please do not attempt to enter the paddock any earlier than scheduled times as there will still be horses in the paddock race stalls.

The listed times may change if there is an Inquiry. That would push back post time thus the times to enter the paddock would also change.

*Please note horses are allowed to go out through the paddock gates to enter the racetrack to warm up at anytime, they just can’t stay in the paddock. Instead, horses must return to their respective barn until it’s their time to enter the paddock to race.*
