Racing fans are invited to celebrate the first anniversary of the Virginia Bets Off Track Betting Center at Buckets Bar & Grill on Friday December 7th and Saturday December 8th. The event will feature $500 in prize drawings, free programs, a free buffet and a free handicapping contest with $1,000 in cash prizes up for grabs.
On Friday, enjoy a free appetizer buffet from 4-7 PM as a thank you to both racing fans and restaurant/bar patrons for making Buckets a great success. There will be hourly prize drawings for $50 betting vouchers from 1-10 PM and past performance programs will be available for free all day and evening.
On Saturday, play a free “Pick The Horses” handicapping contest with $1,000 in cash prizes on the line. The five contestants that accumulate the highest mythical bankrolls will share the $1,000 ($500-$250-$125-$75-$50).
The contest will include races from Gulfstream’s Caribbean Classic program, a stakes filled card on what looks to be December’s biggest pre-Christmas racing event. Stop by Buckets between 11 AM and 2:30 PM to fill out a free contest entry. The first contest race begins shortly after 2:30 PM. Participants will be asked to select one horse in each of the contest races. They will receive a mythical $2 win/place bet on each selection and accumulate mythical bankrolls accordingly.
Buckets is located in the Battlefield Shopping Center at 228 N. Battlefield Blvd. in the Great Bridge section of Chesapeake, just before the drawbridge
