2025 info coming after January 1

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 09, 2024
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

Cost: Buy-in goal for each “horse” is to generate as much money as possible – raised from friends, family, co-workers, strangers, etc. $1000.00 PER HORSE IS THE GOAL
