A reception was held by Governor Dick Codey and Joe Forgione on Thursday, February 2 at the Crystal Plaza in Livingston, New Jersey to benefit Ambassador Phil Murphy and his candidacy for Governor of New Jersey.

SBOANJ President Mark Ford, accompanied by TrotPAC trustees and SBOA directors Anthony Perretti and Robert Boni, attended the function to show support and to remind all in attendance of the current state of the New Jersey harness racing industry.

The SBOANJ and TrotPAC will continue to be represented at various political functions to help gain support from the Governor's office and the various legislators, constantly reminding them of the racing industry’s need for alternative income to survive.
