Chester, PA — Harrah’s Philadelphia is getting new saddle pads, and that means their current saddle pads will have a second life on Pennsylvania’s fair circuit.

Barry Brown, Director of Racing Operations for Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack, presents the saddle pads to Peter Marinari, incoming Executive Director of the PHHA.

Sam Beegle, President of the Pennsylvania Harness Horsemen’s Association, gratefully acknowledged the gift.

“I’d like to thank Harrah’s Philadelphia for recognizing this opportunity to contribute,” he said. “Fair racing is at the heart of our sport’s tradition, and every little bit helps when it comes to preserving that heritage.”
