The Harness Horse Youth Foundation driving exhibition was held on the Hambletonian card on Saturday, August 6 at the Meadowlands Racetrack. Twelve-year-old Bianca Miceli of Beachwood, New Jersey, piloted Royal Attire to a four-length victory.
Miceli was assisted by HHYF alumnus Montrell Teague, who is the regular pilot of 2015 U.S. Horse of the Year Wiggle It Jiggleit. Imas Hit was placed second, with Evan White of North Bangor, New York, assisted by HHYF trustee Corey Callahan, while I Want Another, driven by Cammie Lange, ended up third. She was assisted by Hannah Miller.
In addition to thanking the Meadowlands, its management and staff, and the horsepeople that assisted with the event, HHYF would like to thank Travis Ceppaluni, HHYF summer intern, John Reames, HHYF summer assistant, HHYF graduate Oscar Kimelman for his help with warming up, and Olivia Kimelman, another HHYF graduate who served as paddock manager.
