Almost all of Colonial's races are on turf during the entire meet. They have very few dirt races. Turf racing is what they card everyday.

I had to go to their site and look. It starts June 15 and runs to August 7th.

I've cashed some nice tickets there with Graham Motion, Billy Mott, and Pletcher's, English Channel.

I hope you bet a ton on English Channel...as he was odds on in the Colonial Turf Cup and I believe he was even money in the Va Derby

Colonial is my favorite meet, hands down. I consider it my home track and love the fact they routinely card 6-7 turf races a day. Has the best turf course in the country....
