Harness racing season is about to wrap up once again in Shenandoah County.

Harness racing is different from racing in something like the Kentucky Derby, because instead of a jockey, a "driver" sits behind the horse in a two-wheel cart.

This is an opportunity for people to make some money by betting on races. Anyone over the age of 18 is eligible to bet on horses. Other people come to watch the races and cheer the horses on.

"Here it's all about live racing, so the people are all around the finish line, there's an energy in the crowd, it's a very intimate experience, the grand stand is literally at the track itself," said Wood.

Saturday October 14 and Sunday October 15, 2017 is the last weekend for races in the 2017 season. It is going to be during the Autumn Festival on the fair grounds where there will be BBQ competitions and other events.

There is a cost for the ticket to the Autumn Festival, but admission to Shenandoah Downs is free.
