from the Harness Racing Museum and Hall of Fame

Goshen, NY — The second leg of the Hall of Fame and Museum Amateur Racing Series will be held in Goshen, N.Y., on Monday (July 3), with a purse of $5,000.

This race is in addition to the scheduled Billings Series race on that same day.

If more horses are needed for the Museum race, drivers in the Billings race can be eligible for the Museum series by paying a $100 entry fee.

The first leg took place on Jan. 21 at The Isle of Capri at Pompano Park in Pompano Beach, Fla. A resounding success, the support from the amateur driving community at Pompano raised more than $3,000 for the Harness Racing Museum and Hall of Fame in Goshen.

Three races were contested with the winning drivers Museum Vice President Steve Oldford behind JLs Too Hot Taj, Dein Spriggs with A Crown For Lindy and Fred Cohen behind Thekeptman.

Museum trustee Ebby Gerry, Jr. presented the trophies.

A special thanks is in order for John Berry in promoting the series, Rosie Huff of the FSBOA for her help and the Florida Amateur Driving Club for their contribution of driving commissions to the Harness Racing Museum and Hall of Fame.

The third leg of the series is planned for the Meadowlands on Aug. 4 during Hambletonian week, then on to the Delaware County Fair on Sept. 21 for the final on Little Brown Jug day.
