Lebanon, OH — Lebanon Raceway is excited to be hosting the “What is Harness Racing” exhibit on loan from the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame in Goshen, New York.

The exhibit consists of six educational posters which include a time line of important milestones in the sport of harness racing from 1788 to the present, as well as a short history of the American Standardbred horse, including the great Hambletonian 10 and other significant trotting and pacing sires and bloodlines.

The exhibit goes on display Friday, March 4, and will remain on display through Saturday, March 19.

Join us for the return of live racing on Friday night as Lebanon Raceway celebrates Mardis Gras. There will be numerous giveaways this weekend including a big screen television as well as a surround sound system.

Live racing will be on Friday and Saturday evening, with post time at 6:30 p.m. As always parking and grandstand seating are free.
