Colonial Downs Jobs: Art/Entertainment/Publishing careers

Colonial Downs opened in 1997 in New Kent, Virginia. It conducts parimutuel wagering on thoroughbred and harness racing. The first floor of the expansive facility includes the outside grandstand area with a capacity of 4,000 patrons, plus two simulcast television amphitheaters, two covered patio-seating areas, four bars, a food court, gift shop and numerous betting stations. The Jockey Club, located on the third floor, includes a full-service dining area with seating capacity for 548 patrons, two separate lounge areas and additional wagering locations. On the fourth floor is the Turf Club with full-service dining for 125 people, along with 10 luxury suites.

Colonial Downs is best known for the 180-foot Secretariat Turf course, which is the widest in the nation. The $1,000,000 Virginia Derby is Colonial Downs’ marquee event. The Derby is for three year-olds and is contested at a mile and a quarter over the Secretariat Turf Course. In 2005, Colonial Downs created a new stakes race – The Colonial Turf Cup – which together with the Virginia Derby forms the first two legs of the Grand Slam of Grass.

Colonial Downs offers year-round simulcast wagering at its eight Off-Track Betting (OTB) Facilities, as well as during live racing at the New Kent track. Each day racing fans can watch and wager thoroughbred and harness racing events on up to 23 tracks around the country.
