Racing Fans Invited to RESCHEDULED 2nd Annual Jockey Charity Softball Doubleheader at QuikTrip Park on Monday, July 12 at 7:30 p.m.
Silks Seek Revenge vs. Suits in Rematch on Monday Night
WHAT: The 2nd Annual Lone Star Park Jockey Charity Softball Game, which has been postponed twice due to heavy rains, has been rescheduled for Monday, July 12 and will pit the Lone Star Park jockeys against a team of track employees and media in a doubleheader that is open to the public. In the inaugural game a year ago, the Lone Star Park riders staged comebacks from 6-0 and 9-3 deficits, but their bottom of the seventh inning, three-run rally fell short as the employee team prevailed 10-6.
All proceeds from the game will benefit the Don MacBeth Memorial Jockey Fund, which assists injured and disabled jockeys and their families. Donations of $5 at the gate would be appreciated.
The Don MacBeth Memorial Jockey Fund, founded by TV comedian Tim Conway with former jockey Chris McCarron and his wife Judy, assists injured and disabled riders. It is named after late jockey Don MacBeth who spent much of his time trying to assist those less fortunate than himself before he died of cancer in 1987.
WHEN: Monday, July 12
First game at 7:30 p.m.
Second game will follow immediately
WHERE: QuikTrip Park (Home of the Grand Prairie Air Hogs)
