Columbus, OH — On Saturday (Aug. 3) from 11 a.m. to noon (EDT), HarnessRacing.com will present the inaugural USTrotting Hambletonian Pre-Show, live on location from the Meadowlands.
The one-hour broadcast will be produced by the U.S. Trotting Association and hosted by USTA Content Manager and Racing Analyst Wendy Ross and harness and Thoroughbred racing analyst Ashley Mailloux.
The USTA would like to thank participating sponsors Cane Run Farm, Hunterton Sales Agency/Hunterton Farm and the Standardbred Horse Sales Company for their support of the inaugural Hambletonian Pre-Show broadcast.
The show will feature a preview of the 99th Hambletonian and other major stakes and will include interviews with the connections of Hambletonian contenders, Meadowlands on-air host Jessica Otten, and Derick Giwner, Daily Racing Form’s harness racing editor and handicapper.
“The new USTrotting Hambletonian Pre-Show will expand the USTA’s extensive coverage of one of harness racing’s most important days and provide fans with exciting behind-the-scenes entertainment and information,” said USTA Executive Vice President and CEO Mike Tanner. “We hope that everyone will watch on our social media channels from 11 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Aug. 3.”
