Murphy outlines support for New Jersey
equine industry
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ (July 20, 2017) – Phil Murphy, the New
Jersey gubernatorial candidate, visited the Meadowlands Racetrack last Saturday
night.
A crowd of more than 10,000 was on hand to see a star-studded night of
harness racing headlined by the $738,550 Crawford Farms Meadowlands Pace, the
track’s signature race. Murphy presented the trophy to the winning owners of
Huntsville, who scored a thrilling victory over Downbytheseaside.
Murphy addressed the large crowd in the building as well as an
international audience watching via web stream and live television. He voiced
his support for New Jersey’s entire equine industry and the need for strong leadership
at the state level.
“This is a gem in our state and I think our best days in the racing
industry, whether it’s standardbred or thoroughbred, the best days in the horse
industry, the equine industry, are ahead of us,” said Murphy.
