Batavia Downs announced on Wednesday evening that U.S. harness writer Tim Bojarski has joined their staff as a media correspondent of racing information.

Bojarski is a 36 year veteran of harness racing and has actively participated in all aspects of the sport during that time. He currently writes a monthly column and periodic feature articles for the award-winning Hoof Beats magazine, is a content contributor for the United States Trotting Association website and serves as the national vice-president of the United States Harness Writers Association. He has also reported as a live blogger covering every major stake, including the Hambletonian, Little Brown Jug and Breeders Crown.

"I received numerous e-mails about the job opening from some amazing talents in this business for which I am greatly appreciative," said Todd Haight, General Manager of live racing at Batavia Downs. "But in the end my choice was relatively easy.

"Tim's knowledge of harness racing, Batavia Downs and his tremendous writing skills made him the right person for the position. Batavia Downs has worked closely with Tim in the past and we look forward to taking that relationship to the next level this season."

Bojarski will start his position immediately, preparing for the upcoming racing season, which begins on July 23.
