The "Harlem Shake" is a dance craze that has
taken over the Internet over the past few months. This dance craze entered into the harness
racing world earlier this month when the Meadows Racetrack created its version
of the dance. After receiving some feedback
from fans and horsemen, the Meadowlands decided to create a "Shake"
video of its own.
The Meadowlands Racetrack made the "Harlem
Shake" into two parts. Members of
the Meadowlands and Sodexo management teams filmed the first video on Friday
afternoon. In this clip, Jason Settlemoir, General Manager and CEO of
the Meadowlands Racetrack, makes his solo-dancing debut. It also features cameo appearances by
Superman, Wonder Woman, Woody from Toy Story,
Alan from The Hangover and Elvis Presley.
Part two of the "Shake" was shot after Saturday
morning qualifiers by drivers, trainers and a few Meadowlands employees. Keep your eyes open for Yannick Gringras (as
Ron Pierce), Andy Miller, Simon and Rene
Allard, Marcus Miller, Tim Tetrick, Ron Burke, and Nick Surick.
