Freehold, New Jersey is the home of Freehold Raceway, the oldest harness horse racing track in the United States. Many times over the years the raceway hosted an "American Legion Pace" in honor of our post. Post officers attended the event and had their photo taken in the winner's circle with the winning horse and driver.
