From working in the backstretch to the clear perspective of a lifelong harness racing fan.
Ben Webster, Bruce Nickels, Lew Williams….., he's worked for all of these great horsemen at the Meadowlands and he's now a life-long harness racing fan and enthusiast. Mark Andersen is our guest on this week's Harness Racing Alumni Show.
Mark questions the total lack of marketing and promotion of our sport as he tells Freddie, Trade and Bob that he believes it's crazy that the USTA doesn't support the Horseracing Integrity & Safety Act. He also thinks that the industry should have its own harness racing channel which was offered through TVG but rejected. Andersen also suggested that the USTA should set-up a 'think tank' that would 'brain storm' new ideas to promote the sport. Don't miss this interesting dialog….!!!
