Fund raiser
benefits victims of Classy
Lane Training
Center
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ
(February 3, 2016) – The Meadowlands and its horsemen raised a total of
$31,368.58 to benefit the victims of the Classy Lane Training Center fire in
Puslinch, Ontario that claimed the lives of 43 horses on January 4.
The money was raised in
January when the track invited its horsemen to pledge a percentage of their
on-track earnings to the cause. As usual, the industry exceeded expectations by
also sending in donations by the thousands.
“This is every horseperson’s
absolute worst nightmare,” said Jason M. Settlemoir, General Manager and CEO of
Meadowlands Racing
& Entertainment. “Many thanks to Jennifer
Bongiorno here at the Meadowlands
for taking the lead on this fundraiser and a huge ‘thank you’ must go out to
the dozens of horsepeople that opened their wallets to help their fellow
competitors in their time of need.”
