Plainridge Racecourse, in Plainville MA, has again included the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame in their $10,000 Kentucky Derby Charity Giveaway Drawing.
On Tuesday April 27, three lucky winners will receive: 1st Place-$4,000, 2nd Place-$1,500 and 3rd Place-$500, to wager on the Derby, on Saturday, May 1. Winners do not have to be present (Plainridge will assign a representative to place wagers for those not at the track in person).
Every $1 ticket sold by the museum is $1 for the museum's education programs. Plainridge will match a percentage of that amount for the museum to wager, too! Therefore, the more tickets sold, the more money there will be to bet on the Derby. Last year museum members and friends bought enough tickets to contribute $4,000 for the Museum's educational programming.
Call today (845-294-6330) or email [email protected] and ask Joanne Young for information on how to participate in this great Museum fundraiser. Orders can be taken over the phone or checks marked 'Plainridge' can be mailed to the Harness Racing Museum 240 Main Street, Goshen, NY 10924. Hurry, time is short and all entries must be received by Wednesday, April 21 to qualify.
