2. Scarborough Downs
City: Scarborough, ME
Category: Tours & Attractions
Telephone: (207) 883-4331
Address: 90 Payne Rd.
Description: Here is another racetrack in the southern Maine town of Scarborough, but this one is of the harness variety. For more than half a century the half-mile track has been hosting horse and chariot races, and it’s one of the few things that can be bet upon in Maine. Races run from late March through late December and are usually held on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday in the summer. Good luck. Admission fees vary with the race.
