The Agriculture & NYS Horse Breeding Development Fund will host three public listening sessions in March to solicit feedback regarding the continued success of Standardbred racing in New York.
Governor Kathy Hochul directed the Fund “to review the program and provide … any recommended changes.”
Beginning in March, the Fund is inviting Standardbred industry stakeholders and interested members of the public to attend the sessions and provide input that will help guide decisions for the overall success of the program.
The public listening sessions are being held as follows:
- March 16, 2023, 1 p.m. - 4 p.m., at the Harness Racing Hall of Fame and Museum, Goshen, New York
- March 23, 2023, 1 p.m. - 4 p.m., at Vernon Downs Casino & Hotel, Vernon, New York
- March 30, 2023, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., at Saratoga Casino Hotel, Saratoga Springs, New York
The sessions are free and open to the public. Those interested in attending are asked to RSVP within 24 hours of a session by emailing [email protected]. Those looking to submit materials for discussion should also contact the above email address as soon as possible.
