The Board of the Monticello Harness Horsemen's Association have developed an innovative idea to promote their organization and gain more members by offering a bonus program for their harness racing members.
Alan Schwartz, President of the MHHA said that "for eight consecutive weeks starting on January 23, one race will be picked at random before the start of the daily program in the paddock. All horse finishing 1st thru 5th, providing all parties involved in the horse (owners, trainer & driver) are current members of the MHHA Monticello Harness Horseman's Association, will receive a 20% purse bonus in addition to any purse money earned"
The dues to the horseman association is $30 per year, benefits include Sulky, health & life insurance, and health and welfare fund Anyone wishing to became a member should call the horseman's office at 794 4100 ext. 559, or contact Terry Finch in the paddock.
