Leading Upstate New York
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – Continuing its massive investment in
harness racing, Crawford Farms, located on more than 100 acres in Central New York , has signed on as a premier sponsor of
the Meadowlands Pace, to be broadcast nationally for the first time since 1999.
The $750,000 classic for the sport’s premier 3-year-old pacers will air on CBS
Sports Network on Saturday, July 12.
Crawford Farms has also been a major sponsor at the two
Upstate New York tracks owned by Jeff Gural, Tioga Downs and Vernon Downs, for
several seasons.
“Crawford
Farms is very excited about the multiple sponsorships with Vernon Downs, Tioga Downs
and the Meadowlands including the Crawford Farms Trot and the Kindergarten
Classic,” said Crawford Farms owner Michelle Crawford. “We feel strongly
that more marketing dollars must be spent by all participants for our industry
to grow and prosper. A television presence as well as any media
production is what our industry needs to thrive. As a New York breeder we are in an industry that
needs our support and we are happy to partner with Jeff Gural and his efforts.”
Crawford Farms was the leading consignor at the 2013
Morrisville Yearling Sale and a major seller at both the Lexington
and Harrisburg
sales.
