Banquet Information

When the Monticello-Goshen USHWA Chapter holds their 66th annual Awards Banquet on Sunday, December 7, 2025, Moira Fanning will receive the chapter’s highest honor, their Lifetime Achievement Award.

Once again this year the chapter has been given the opportunity to include the New York Sire Stakes and U. S. Trotting District 8 Awards., which will be in addition to the year-end awards for horses and horse people from the local tracks.

The Monticello-Goshen chapter will also honor Ralph Scunziano (Excelsior Award); Keith Hamilton (John Gilmour Good Guy Award); Janet Durso (Amy Bull Crist Distinguished Service Award); James Crawford IV (Cradle of the Trotter Breeders Award); Jessica Hallett (Phil Pines Award); Dylan Huckabone-Miller (Rising Star); and Barb and Liz Stubits (Mighty M Award of Appreciation).

Funds raised through the banquet and souvenir journal have allowed the Monticello-Goshen Chapter to give well over $150,000 to Goshen Historic Track and the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame over the last two decades.  The Track and the Museum are two separate and distinct entities that share the same hallowed ground and a mutual purpose of preserving and promoting harness racing.

The practice of raising money and donating funds to Historic Track and the Hall of Fame began in the mid-1970s with Monticello Raceway publicity icon John Manzi, and has continued ever since.
