The number fluctuates, but it's around 20,000 directly employed jobs. Then there's indirect and seaonal employment. But it's $1.6 billion in annual, statewide economic impact and $68 million in annual tax revenue to the state from all horse racing and breeding.

Many might not know that Pennsylvania is the Kentucky of harness breeding with 1,300 standardbred foals dropped in 2019 (plus 700 thoroughbreds).
