The state question is on the Nov. 2 general election ballot, and the Choctaw Nation, which owns Blue Ribbon Downs, and horsemen who race at the Sallisaw racetrack, are seeking support of the state question.
Gates at the racetrack will open at 9 a.m.
The track will offer 50-cent hot dogs; free T-shirts; free pony rides at 11 a.m.; a bass-fishing clinic with Mark Goines; free fishing for children in the trout pond; and a display of the 7 UP bass boat.
Fans will also be able to guess the number of bottles of Coke products in a bed and win all the products.
The first post time is at noon, and Saturday's live racing will feature the Black Gold Championship, the Black Gold Derby and the Four Seasons Handicap.
The track will also feature the simulcast of the Breeders Cup World Thoroughbred Championships from Lone Star Park in Arlington, Texas.
The first post time from Lone Star Park is at 11:40 a.m. and the Breeders Cup races begin at 12:20 p.m. The Breeders Cup will feature an Ultra Pick 6 with a $3 million guaranteed pool.
Blue Ribbon Downs will also hold live racing on Friday. Saturday's racing is the conclusion of the racetrack's fall race meet. There will be no live racing on Sunday.
