About the Meadowlands Racetrack
The Meadowlands
Racetrack has been home to the world’s greatest harness racing and world-class

York City, the track hosts the sport’s premier event, the Hambletonian, as well
as a full slate of harness and thoroughbred simulcast action. The
Meadowlands Racetrack was privatized in 2011 and is operated by Jeff Gural’s
New Meadowlands Racetrack LLC.
