A little piece of Oak Grove has officially found its forever home in Goshen, NY!

We’re excited to share our newly installed Oak Grove Racing paver at the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame. From Kentucky to New York, it’s pretty special to see Oak Grove’s name among the history and tradition of our sport.

Just a little reminder that great racing leaves a footprint… and sometimes, it’s a paver!

There's nothing like the feeling when the gate picks up speed... and the field charges into that first turn.

This is where the strategy begins, the adrenaline kicks in, and every position matters. If you've never experienced harness racing from this view, you're missing out!

Would you have the nerves to be behind the gate?

We know it’s been a while since live racing ended at Oak Grove, and we’re missing it already, but we wanted to make sure our 2026 Leading Driver received the recognition he deserved.

Congratulations to Atlee Bender on being named Oak Grove’s Leading Driver once again! 👏

Atlee continues to put in the work, picking up countless drives throughout the meet and whatever he’s doing, it’s clearly working!

We’re proud to have Atlee as part of the Oak Grove family and wish him the very best of luck for the remainder of the 2026 racing season!

If you hear click, clack, click, clack coming through the paddock… don’t worry. The social media team is on patrol.

You can usually hear them before you see them, making their way through the paddock in their boots like they own the place. At this point, those boots probably deserve their own employee badges. 😂

Just another day behind the scenes at the track!

We LOVE riding in the gate!

There’s nothing quite like seeing the horses and drivers up close, right in their element. It’s exciting, peaceful, and full of anticipation all at the same time.

The sound of the horses, the focus of the drivers, and that feeling that a big race is just seconds away…

Check out this lineup!
