EAST
RUTHERFORD, NJ — Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment will
host its “2nd Sportscasters Charity Derby” — two harness races to benefit each
participating Sportscaster’s selected charitable organizations — on Saturday,
May 11, 2019.
The “2nd Sportscasters
Charity Derby” will consist of ten famous Sportscasters who will each compete
in a one-mile harness race driving a racehorse in a jog cart. There will
be two charity races — with five Sportscasters participating in each race.
Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment will donate $5000 to each of the two
winning Sportscasters’ selected charities — and will also make a $1000
donation to each charity selected by each Sportscaster who participates.
Jeff
Gural, Chairman and CEO of Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment, said,
"We are very excited to be hosting the ‘2nd Sportscaster Charity Derby.’
We are equally excited that so many of the top Sportscasters who live in
the NY-NJ Metro area will be participating in this fun and exciting event. It
will raise funds for many important charitable organizations and harness racing
fans will shave a great time handicapping and analyzing the
Sportscasters’ respective talents to drive a racehorse.”
