Schenectady, NY — The New York Sire Stakes County Fair Series is set to begin Saturday (July 2) at Goshen Historic Track, the oldest active trotting track in the nation. Post time is for 1 p.m.

The series consists of 21 non-pari-mutuel harness racing events open to eligible 2- and 3-year-old New York-bred Standardbreds. The events provide young horses with the opportunity to earn as they learn while bringing harness racing to communities across the state.

“The New York Sire Stakes County Fair Series is something we look forward to each year,” said Steve Jones, trustee, Agriculture and New York State Horse Breeding Development Fund. “We are extremely proud to partner with each county fair to bring these highly-competitive races into the towns of those who follow the races each year, but also want to get more involved.”

A reminder that the full schedule of race dates can be viewed on the New York Sire Stakes website. The County Fair finals are scheduled for Sept. 6 at Monticello. Post time is 1 p.m.
