Congratulations to our 2023 winners Long Limbs Jim in Race 1 and Happy Days in Race 2! Thank you to all who donated in support of the Arc of NJ!
Requirements: You must raise $, get in a horse suit, run down the homestretch in 2- 4 inches of mud in front of 80,000 people, hope to make it to the finish line and win absolutely nothing but the satisfaction of helping others!
How It Works
When: Sunday, June 11, 2023
Where: Monmouth Park Racetrack
Time: Race will take place between real horse races (to be determined)
Course: 1/16 of a mile dash out of actual starting gate & down the front homestretch. The track announcer will call race live over the P.A.
Who: Up to 10 “horses” per race and their handlers
How: Send horse entries to info@njirishfestival.com
