Videos
Our latest 30-second television ad helps build our brand and enhance our image, while spotlighting Pennsylvania’s place atop North America’s Standardbred breeding industry.
Produced and Directed by Keystone Films, it airs nationally during telecasts of major races such as the Hambletonian, Breeders' Crown, Meadowlands Pace, and Adios Pace.
We engaged Keystone Films to produce this video, highlighting the continuing strength of Pennsylvania's Standardbred breeding industry.
Location shoots took place at Hanover Shoe Farms, Vieux Carre Farms, and The Meadows racetrack.
It is being distributed through our social media channels, and being broadcast on regionally-televised harness racing programs, such as "PA Harness Week."
