The Harness Racing Museum’s “Remember Roosevelt!” exhibit and accompanying publication, Roosevelt Raceway, the Dream & the Legacy, Where it All Began, were acknowledged for synthesizing historic preservation with visual public presentation. The outstanding exhibit and photo essay book grew from the Museum’s nearly decade-long Roosevelt Raceway Legacy Project which, aided by grant funding from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature, cataloged and digitized thousands of photographs secured from the lost Long Island track.

  • ON the COVER... This Year’S Stallion Register Cover Salutes White Birch Farm in Allentown, NJ and Its Founder, Joseph S
    Dear SBOANJ Members: We are happy to once again publish the New Jersey Stallion Register and provide you with a comprehensive guide to the standardbred industry in this state. Within the pages of this book we celebrate the accomplish- ments of our racing and breeding stars and the people who make it possible for New Jersey to continue to produce some of the best harness racing in the world. While the spotlight in this book is on the stallions who will stand in New Jersey in 2009, we also salute the progeny of the program who were the stars of the 2008 racing season. Two New Jersey-sired sons of Muscles Yankee -- two-year-old Muscle Hill and three-year-old Deweychea- tumnhowe -- were named 2008 divisional champions, receiving Dan Patch Awards from the United States Harness Writers Association. In 2008, on the recommendation of the SBOANJ, the New Jersey Department of Agriculture honored Ham- bletonian winner Deweycheatumnhowe as Horse of the Year and Fair Winds Farm as Breeder of the Year. Established in 1961 with a handful of people, the SBOANJ is comprised of horse breeders, drivers, trainers, owners, and backstretch personnel, active and interested in the standardbred horse industry in the State of New Jersey. The SBOANJ’s mission is to support, promote and preserve a favorable business climate, while striving to secure closer business and personal relationships among all industry participants throughout the State. The SBOANJ is governed by a Board of Directors elected by the general membership. The Board authorizes stallion and mare registrations, negotiates with track managements, actively oversees and administers a benefits program, and advances legislation favorable to the New Jersey standardbred industry.
