Freehold Dedicates Monday Card to Ontario Horsemen

Posted 3236 days

Freehold Raceway management, horsemen, and the Standardbred Breeders and Owners Association of New Jersey are combining forces Monday, January 18, 2016 to support the horsemen that fell victim to the fire at Classy Lane Training Center. The devastating fire claimed the lives of more than 40 standardbred racehorses. The six trainers housed in that barn lost all of their stable equipment in the fire.
Freehold is encouraging drivers and trainers to donate their percentages from Monday’s race card to their fellow horsemen. Freehold Raceway has pledged to match the horsemen’s total. SBOANJ President Mark Ford and the board members have joined the effort and are willing to make a contribution equaling the amount the horsemen raise.
Special thank you to the following race sponsors for their donations. 

Eric Abbatiello
Bresnahan Racing Stable
Mike Casalino Jr
Pat McNamara
P.F.R. Stable
Steve Smith
SPHO-NJ
Nick Surick 
John Urbanski

Monday’s first race post time is 12:30pm.
