Cranbury, NJ — The Board of Directors of the Hambletonian Society are calling a special meeting entitled “Who Will Be The Harness Racing Customer in 2025?”

The panel discussion will be held at The Meadowlands Sheraton, East Rutherford, N.J., on Thursday, July 31, from 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. The focus of the discussion will be on the perception of harness racing by younger generations and what efforts are being made to attract and involve past, present and future customers.

“Our board of directors are deeply invested in the future of harness racing,” said Hambletonian Society president and CEO Tom Charters. “We would like this to be a forum for a fresh perspective and to explore efforts that are being made now by racetracks and racinos to promote harness racing among existing fans, as well as what methods have been effective in creating new fans.”

The meeting is open, but RSVPs are mandatory. Please call Julianna Tappen at (609) 371-2211 if you would like to attend.
