from HANA Harness

In addition to providing handicappers an opportunity to show off their skills and provide race fans with some wagering ideas during the year, one of the major goals of HANA Harness has been to raise awareness and funds for Standardbred rescues.

Thanks to our handicappers, who have been willing to handicap lengthy contests for nothing more than satisfaction in knowing they are helping unwanted horses and our sponsors, HANA Harness has donated in excess of $7,000 over the past two years.

While HANA Harness is thankful for last year’s sponsors, we would like to specifically thank this year’s sponsors for their donations, for without their assistance, we would not be able to donate funds to this year’s worthwhile rescues.

Thanks to our Gold sponsors, the Hambletonian Society, Chicago Harness (Balmoral and Maywood Parks), Illinois Harness Horsemen’s Association, Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment, Tioga Downs and Vernon Downs. In addition to these sponsors, recognition also goes to our Silver sponsor, Red Shores Charlottetown, for their donation to Canadian Standardbred rescue.

HANA Harness looks forward to hosting another handicapping contest in 2014. We welcome sponsorships from racing organizations, track operators, horsemen’s associations, suppliers and owners. If you wish to be considered for possible sponsorship opportunities in 2014, you may contact HANA Harness at allan@hanaweb.org to be contacted when the time is appropriate.
