Promotion gives
fans a chance to experience horse ownership with all of the rewards and none of
the risk
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ (December 7, 2016) – Building on
the success of previous versions of the promotion, the Meadowlands Racetrack is
pleased to announce the return of its wildly popular “Own A Horse” promotion.
Fans may register on the Meadowlands website.
The sign up period runs through December 31.
10 contestants will be randomly selected during live racing
on December 31 and assigned a horse that will be racing at the Meadowlands
during January. Each contestant will win up to 10 percent of the horse’s
earnings during the month without any of the expenses. Contestants will also
have the opportunity to meet their horse in the paddock before it races and get
their photo taken in the winner’s circle should they be lucky enough to see
their horse win a race.
The earlier rounds of the “Own A Horse” promotion have paid
out more than $5,000 to new “owners” with at least one contest participant
turning into an actual horse owner.
“We all know how badly our sport needs new owners to
experience the thrills of racehorse ownership while also giving breeders more
potential customers for their yearlings,” said Meadowlands Chairman Jeffrey
Gural. “This promotion has already given 60 people an insider’s look at being a
horse owner while helping to expose our beautiful facility and wonderful sport
to dozens of potential new fans.”
