The Board of the Monticello Harness Horseman Association has developed an innovative idea to promote their organization and gain more members by offering a bonus program for their members.
Alan Schwartz, the president of the MHHA, said that “for eight consecutive weeks starting on January 23, one race will be picked at random before the start of the daily program in the paddock. All horses finishing first through fifth, providing all parties involved in the horse (owners, trainer and driver) are current members of the MHHA Monticello Harness Horseman’s Association, will receive a 20 per cent purse bonus in addition to any purse money earned.”
The dues to the horseman’s association is $30 per year. Benefits include sulky, health and life insurance, and health and welfare fund.
Anyone wishing to became a member should call the horseman’s office at 794-4100 (Ext. 559) or contact Terry Finch in the paddock.
