Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 24, 2018 Journalists Share Posted July 24, 2018 The Far Hills Race Meeting will offer pari-mutuel wagering for the first time on all of its steeplechase races Oct. 20. The Far Hills Race Meeting, which includes the $450,000 G1 Grand National, offers purses totaling $850,000. “Far Hills is pleased to offer our loyal patrons this prized amenity: a chance to bet on our races,” said Far Hills Chairman Guy J. Torsilieri. “The wagering experience is yet another way for our fans to enjoy and be intimately involved in our races, which, every year, draw top horses from the United States and overseas.” Under New Jersey law, Far Hills will conduct its one-day of wagering under Monmouth Park’s pari-mutuel license. All races will be under the supervision of the New Jersey Racing Commission. “After years of working closely with the Far Hills Race Meeting team, we’re so pleased the partnership is finally official,” said Dennis Drazin, president and CEO of Darby Development LLC, which operates Monmouth Park. “We are grateful to have an opportunity to support this beloved 98-year tradition while also raising greater awareness for steeplechase racing and all equine sports throughout the region and beyond.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
