Led by a $10,000 donation from Meadowbranch Farm, the Meadowlands Racetrack will be sending a cheque for $18,440.95 to the Florida Standardbred Owners & Breeders Association to benefit the victims of the deadly barn fire that killed 12 horses and injured 11 more.

The money was raised through a combination of drivers and trainers that pledged a percentage of their earnings over the course of the past two weekends, plus donations from other members of the industry, including the Meadowlands Racetrack, which is contributing $5,000.

The Meadowlands would like to extend its appreciation to the following people who contributed to the relief effort:

Ivan Axelrod
Ginny & George Berkner
Jason & Lori Settlemoir
Joe Bongiorno
John Calabrese
Meadowlands Farm
Patti & Rob Harmon
Andrew Harris
David McDuffee
Andy & Julie Miller
Al & Tim Nash
Chris Ryder
Kyle Spagnola
