Spectator SportsHorse Racing Four miles west of Ocean City, Ocean Downs, 10218 Racetrack Rd. (Rte. 589), just off Route 50, in Berlin (tel. 410/641-0600; www.oceandowns.com), features up to 10 harness races Wednesday through Sunday nights June through August. Live racing runs from 7:25 to about 11pm. Simulcast TV racing from other tracks begins daily at noon year-round. Grandstand admission and parking are free. Clubhouse admission is extra. The racetrack is very kid friendly: Winning trotters are led to the winner's circle, where children gather around for a close look. A parade of horses starts each evening's races, with the lead horse getting close enough for the kids to pet. Many horses and their drivers are local, too. There's also a restaurant and lounge, as well as the slots parlor opening in 2010. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip. Related Features Partner Deals:
