Freehold, NJ — Goshen Historic Track will feature a power-packed field of drivers, all members of the Harness Racing Hall of Fame, in the annual $10,000 Mr. and Mrs. Elbridge Gerry Memorial Trot, to be held July 5. Post time is 1 p.m.

The slate for that race brings together a “Who’s Who” of harness racing talent. John Campbell, David Miller, Bill O’Donnell, Dick Stillings, Jimmy Takter and Wally Hennessey will all compete that day.

Ron Pierce, recovering from neck and back surgery this spring, is a possibility as he is nearing the end of his rehabilitation. His participation, and the addition of one other driver, will be confirmed as the date draws closer.

Collectively, the confirmed participants have won 11 Little Brown Jugs and 10 Hambletonians as trainers or drivers, along with nearly 45,000 races and $800 million in purse earnings.

The race honors the memory of Mr. and Mrs. Elbridge Gerry; their sons Elbridge and Peter will be on hand to present the trophy.

After the race, the drivers will meet fans and autograph photos.

Goshen Historic Track is located at 44 Park Place in Goshen; admission is $5 for adults (includes program) and children are free. For more information, go to www.goshenhistorictrack.com or call 845.294.5333.
