The Meadowlands Racetrack will host its ‘2nd Sportscasters Charity Derby’ — two harness races to benefit each participating sportscaster’s selected charitable organizations — on Saturday, May 11, 2019.
The 2nd Sportscasters Charity Derby will consist of ten famous sportscasters who will each compete in a one-mile harness race driving a racehorse in a jog cart. There will be two charity races — with five sportscasters participating in each race. Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment will donate $5,000 to each of the two winning sportscasters’ selected charities — and will also make a $1,000 donation to each charity selected by each sportscaster who participates.
"We are very excited to be hosting the 2nd Sportscaster Charity Derby,” Jeff Gural was quoted as saying via release. “We are equally excited that so many of the top sportscasters who live in the NY-NJ Metro area will be participating in this fun and exciting event. It will raise funds for many important charitable organizations and harness racing fans will shave a great time handicapping and analyzing the sportscasters’ respective talents to drive a racehorse.”
