With thoroughbred racing returning to Colonial Downs in 2019, here are scenes from in-progress construction goings on at the New Kent track. Here are some shots from December 13th.

The entrance area leading up to the Colonial Downs front pillars will look quite different when it reopens in 2019. A circular road will allow vehicles close access to the doors.

Looking out from the top tier of the third floor Jockey Club. The former lounge will be a simulcast area where horseplayers can bet live races from tracks around the country.

First floor preparations continue. The 2019 season will feature 15 race days. The Virginia Derby is August 31st.

The Green side of the third floor Jockey Club is being renovated to a higher level Historical Horse Racing area that will feature 92 terminals.
