Why A Group Package?

    That's easy! Since 1925 River Downs has specialized in catering to groups such as yours. Thoroughbred racing from its beginning was meant to be enjoyed by a gathering of family and friends. It is historically a social event. The thrill of the bet, the race, and the win coupled with the scenic beauty of one of America's most beautiful race courses makes the River Downs experience something you just shouldn't do alone.
      But that's only part of the total package. River Downs offers 7 different plans for every taste and budget. If there is something that your group requires that is not in a particular plan, let us know. We can help with party trays, drink tickets, concession packages and much more.

      When you sign up for a group plan, you're an instant winner. Your group will enjoy a race named in their honor, be in the winner's circle and receive a free 8 x 10 - 2 way color photograph of the presentation.
      So, if you're looking for something new to do with your group this year - add in a little wagering excitement - an excellently catered event - a beautifully scenic race course you're sure to have a winner.
