The Standardbred Breeders and Owners Association of New Jersey (SBOANJ) and TrotPAC are hosting a fundraiser for Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin at Offshore Farm in Cream Ridge, New Jersey on Thursday, April 30 at 1:30 p.m.

The fundraiser will allow attendees to meet Assembly Speaker Coughlin, who was vital to the five-year, $100 million USD state appropriation approval, and express their views on the budget cut to the state appropriation proposed by Governor Sherrill in the Fiscal Year 2027 Budget.

The SBOANJ urges anyone with an interest in New Jersey racing to attend and support the Speaker.

"Your attendance and financial contribution are of the utmost importance to the success of our industry and future appropriations," said Mark Ford, SBOANJ President, and Anthony Perretti, TrotPAC Chairman, in an invitation to racing industry participants. 

Lunch and refreshments will be served. 

Attendees are asked to RSVP to SBOANJ by emailing [email protected] or calling the SBOANJ office at 732-462-2357.
