Omar Acosta-Cabrera of Hackensack, New Jersey, walked away with a 2019 Toyota C-HR as the grand prize winner of Meadowlands Racetrack’s Championship Meet Horseplay promotion.
From Friday, May 3 through August 2, ‘Horseplay’ participants attempted to throw their numbered horse into the window of a moving car. A winner, randomly chosen from all the horses that make it into the car, received a $100 betting voucher. Each night’s winner was entered into a grand prize drawing to win the brand new 2019 Toyota C-HR on, Friday, August 2.
Cabrera, who comes to the track every Friday night during the summer for some excitement, was ecstatic to win the Toyota C-HR.
“This is so awesome,” Cabrera exclaimed after his name was drawn. “I was looking for a new car, so this came at the perfect time!”
For every horse that made it into the Horseplay car, Meadowlands Racetrack donated $10 to the designated monthly charity. For the 2019 season, a total of $8,020 was donated to three local charities (‘A Lot to Grow,’ ‘Humane Society of Bergen County Lost Pet, Inc.’ and ‘Horse Rescue United’).
Since 2015 Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment has donated over $34,000 to local charities through Horseplay.
