Columbus, OH — Three lucky fans who decided to head ‘Back to the Track’ in VIP fashion this past weekend have won a piece of the purse from VIP Stable.

VIP Stable, in conjunction with the USTA, agreed to donate five percent of the total purses won by their horses racing on Back to the Track weekend to be given away as a cash prize, with a minimum prize of $500. All fans who signed up for the free VIP Track Pass were entered to win the cash and three winners were selected at random.

The $500 cash prize was divided among the winners as follows: Beryl Johnson of Bloomington, Minn. won the third place prize of $100, Richard Thiessen of Fremont, Ohio won the second place prize of $150 and Linda Mitchell of Gordonville, Pa. won the first place prize of $250.

VIP Stable was established in 1999 to give fans of harness racing the opportunity to own a piece of a quality racehorse at an affordable price. To learn more about VIP Stable and their partnership opportunities visit www.vipstable.com.
