Halloween night racing has become a tradition for families across northeastern PA. Ever since The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono began hosting the annual Grey Ghost & Poltergeist Pace, kids and kids at heart flock to the track for safe Halloweening, decorations, family fun and of course, the spookiest pace race of the season!

But Hallowen isn't just for kiddos. Pocono's marketing manager Jennifer Starr makes sure all of the grey horses get in on the fun with special treat bags loaded with carrots and apples. And as you can see by the look on that cute face above, the horses love Halloween at Pocono just as much as the hoomans!

It's a beautiful time of year to check out the racing excitement at Harrah's Philly, especially with its gorgeous riverfront setting. The sweltering heat of summer has finally given way to "sweater weather," and most of the time, that makes it awesome to enjoy the races outside on the Harrah's deck or patio. But, yep, things do sometimes get chilly this time of year. So here's Heather Vitale with some quick tips on enjoying everything Harrah's racetrack has to offer—indoors or outdoors.
