Kentucky Derby at Goshen Historic Track?

Plans are in the works for a gala affair to be celebrated at harness racing's Goshen Historic Track around the running of this years Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 2.

To be used as a fundraiser for the world's oldest harness race track and National Historic Landmark, a Kentucky Derby-style party will be offered from 3pm-8pm on that first Saturday in May

This is a fundraising project of Goshen Historic Track in its continuing efforts to carry on the heritage of Goshen and contributions to the harness racing industry. Plenty of entertainment, good food, music, dancing and even a Ladies Hat Contest will be in the offering, as well as the ability to wager on the Kentucky Derby and other races presented on that number one race card in North America.

Waging will be available at Delanceys Restaurant, which is adjacent to Historic Track and is an outlet of the Catskill Regions' Off-track betting network. Party-goers will be able to wager on their choices and view the races from Louisville, KY that afternoon and watch the action on two monstrous television screens which will be set-up for the attending crowd.

"The entire afternoon will center around the running of the Kentucky Derby and fun for all that attend.
