Columbus, OH — Looking for that unique gift for that harness racing enthusiast who has everything? Why not give them a gift that they are certain to remember — a trip to the 2013 USTA Driving School.

The 15th annual edition of the USTA Standardbred Driving School will be held in the Goshen, N.Y., area from May 29-June 2.

Classroom instruction will be held at the Harness Racing Museum and Hall of Fame with stable work taking place at both the Goshen Historic Track and the Mark Ford Training Center.

The school begins Wednesday evening, May 29, with a welcome reception/dinner and special keynote speaker. Classroom and hands-on instruction will be conducted each day, Thursday through Saturday. Six lucky students will be chosen to drive in a special driving school race during the Sunday afternoon matinee program at the Goshen Historic Track on June 2.

This is a one of a kind opportunity for educational and hands-on experience. Participants must be at least 16 years of age. There is a registration fee of $350. Students must provide their own transportation and lodging. Most meals are furnished.
