Just a reminder…Roosevelt Raceway
Legacy Night at Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment is fast
approaching on Saturday, May 17th. If you’re a
former driver/trainer/owner who competed at, or is connected with Roosevelt
Raceway and are planning on attending, please call 201-460-4090 to confirm.
Activities will include a
Roosevelt driver autograph session with Herve Filion, Carmine Abbatiello, Ben
Webster, Lucien Fontaine, Merritt Dokey and many other top Roosevelt
drivers. Some great memorabilia will be on display compliments of
the Harness Racing Museum, a race with current Meadowlands drivers wearing the
silks of former Roosevelt regulars, special interviews, video clips of old
races, trophy presentations, and much more.
In addition, The Meadowlands will
turn back the clock on some of its food and beverage offerings, with pricing
from the days of Roosevelt Raceway. There will be $1 Budweiser and
Bud Light Drafts, $1 Canned Sodas, $1 Hot Dogs and $1 Pretzels.
On the racing front, the first
major Free For All Trotting event of the season headlines the racing action as
some of the best trotters in the world do battle in The Arthur J. Cutler
Memorial.
Roosevelt Raceway Legacy Night is
brought to you by the New Meadowlands and the Harness Racing Museum and Hall Of
Fame. Jeff Gural’s Allerage Farm is the event sponsor. For more
