It's become something of a summer tradition in the Tri-state when dachshunds take over the racetrack at Ellis Park. And that tradition continues this weekend.

It's another weekend of great live racing action at Ellis Park, including the ever popular "Wiener Dog" races this Saturday and Sunday!

Ever wonder what goes into getting a racehorse ready for a day of racing? Have you ever seen a horse learning how to be comfortable in the starting gate? This Morning, Ellis Park offered a behind the scenes look at what goes into a day of racing.

Ellis Park is teaming with its horsemen’s association to provide the public with a behind-the-scenes look at preparing horses for the races.

Ellis Park exists in a unique place in the Tri-State. It's north of the Ohio River and south of the Indiana state line. Although it technically exists in Kentucky, all the phone lines at the track have the Southern Indiana 812 area code. And in that unique place, 92 seasons of live racing have taken place.

Ellis Park is less then two weeks from the start of their 93rd Season of live horse racing!

Enjoy a day at the races and hang out with members of the Evansville IceMen organization this Saturday during Icemen Day at Ellis Park.

As a way of saying thanks to the men and women who have, and those who currently, put their lives on the line so the rest of us can enjoy our freedom, Ellis Park is inviting them out this Saturday for a day of live racing action and a free meal.

There is a lot going on this weekend here in the tri-state - Lots of theatre! The 16th Annual Warrick County Summer Musical 'Hairspray' kicks off this Thursday and runs all weekend long at Castle High School, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat premiers on Thursday at Lincoln Amphitheatre, and New Harmony Theatre's production of Pete 'n' Keely begins on Friday...

This weekend is the grand opening weekend at Ellis Park, and it marks the beginning of the season for live thoroughbred racing that runs through Labor Day weekend. You can see live racing today, tomorrow and even on Monday! And you can enjoy FREE general admission all season long! If you're heading out to Ellis Park today, make sure you stop and see SLICK broadcasting live there from 12n-2p. Read
