Running Aces Harness Park is proud to introduce Rod Newhart as the Racing Secretary and Peter Galassi as the Track Announcer for the 2009 live meet.

Race fans may recognize Galassi as the voice of Hawthorne Race Course and will begin his first season as the announcer for Running Aces.

“Running Aces is privileged to have two experienced additions to our team. Both Rod and Peter bring their knowledge and enthusiasm of the industry to race fans here in Minnesota, and throughout the country in our broadcasts,” stated General Manager Robert Farinella.
