from the Harness Racing Museum and Hall of Fame

Goshen, NY — Plainridge Racecourse, in Plainville, Mass., has again included The Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame in their $10,000 Kentucky Derby charity giveaway drawing.

On Tuesday, May 3, five lucky winners will receive vouchers (1st Place-$4,000, 2nd Place-$1,500, 3rd Place-$500, 4th Place-$200, and 5th Place $100) to wager on the Derby, on Saturday, May 7. Winners do not have to be present (Plainridge will assign a representative to place wagers for those not at the track in person).

Every $1 ticket sold by the Museum is $1 for the Museum’s education programs. Plainridge will match a percentage of that amount for the Museum to wager, too! Therefore, the more tickets sold, the more money there will be to bet on the Derby.

Last year Museum members and friends bought enough tickets to contribute nearly $3,500 for the Museum’s educational programming. Museum members Frank Antonacci, Ken Jacobs and David McDuffee were winners last year, with Mr. Jacobs purchasing his lucky ticket from the Museum.
