Strassberg, a January Own A Horse Contestant, walked away with $600 courtesy of
Gimme Some Lovin
“I
attended last Friday, got to visit the horse in the paddock with my friend, and
Gimme Some Lovin won,” said Strassberg, of Fort Lee, NJ. I have been coming
since the 70’s with my pal Bill, and I was unaware how badly my buddy wanted to
see the backstretch until we visited the horse. Everyone we dealt with
was nice and we had a blast. I have to say that we both had fun and this is a
great promotion!”
Each month, 10
lucky fans earned a chance to “own” a piece of one of five different horses
competing at the Meadowlands. While the fans did not actually own the horse,
they received up to 10 percent of the horse’s earnings, paid for by the
Meadowlands, while also getting access to meet their horse in the race paddock,
visit with the trainer and driver, and if lucky enough, get a picture in the
winner’s circle. Sign-ups for the March round of the contest are open by
visiting the Own A Horse page on the Meadowlands website. Fans can register
until February 24.
A new addition
to the Own A Horse promotion comes courtesy of Trainer Rob Harmon and the
Harmon Racing Stable. Harmon’s Iron Dome is one of the horses in the
February promotion and will be featured in a series of “A Day in the Life”
vignettes. These behind the scenes videos will be posted on the
Meadowlands’ Facebook and Instagram pages and provide a unique look into
the race day for a horse. In addition, Harmon will also provide
some cool swag for the two lucky contestants to be randomly paired with Iron
Dome.
