Huntington, NY —- An estimated 150 harness racing stars and fans alike came out to the Book Revue in Huntington, N.Y. for the press conference and book signing of Roosevelt Raceway Where It All Began authors Victoria Howard, Billy Haughton and Freddie Hudson.

In attendance were Herve Filion, Mike Lizzi III, Mike Lizzi Jr., Bobby Rahner, Jimmy Marohn Sr., Andrew Fillion, Allan Alkels, Jim Champion, Andrea Volter, Robert Goldstein, Herve Filion Jr., Paul Katz and horse owner Joe Barbera who has his 2-year-old filly Heart Major competing in one of the Breeders Crown races Saturday night at the Meadowlands.

The audience and fans were treated to a special and unannounced appearance of Herve Filion when he joined the authors on the podium. Filion shared some of his racing stories and took questions from the audience. The 15 minute question and answer segment turned into a half hour and finally had to be terminated by the Book Revue staff to allow the authors time to sign the many books that were purchased.

The authors will be attending the Breeders Crown and signing the book at the Meadowlands.
