$18,000 to South Florida fire victims

Led by a $10,000 donation from Meadowbranch Farm, the Meadowlands will be sending a check for $18,440.95 to the Florida Standardbred Owners & Breeders Association to benefit the harness racing victims of a deadly barn fire that killed 12 horses and injured 11 more.

The money was raised through a combination of drivers and trainers pledging a percentage of their earnings the past two weekends plus donations from other members of the industry including the Meadowlands, which is contributing $5,000.

The Meadowlands would like to extend its appreciation to the following people who contributed to the relief effort:
