2023 PENN MILE NIGHT from KEYSTONE FILMS on Vimeo.

We hope you enjoy this brief video, produced by Keystone Films, highlighting a very memorable Penn Mile night, June 2, 2023.  Internationally-acclaimed race caller Larry Collmus joined us at Penn National Race Course to call all the action of the night's 6 Stakes Races, topped by the Grade 2, $400,000 Penn Mile.

Pennsylvania's horse racing and breeding industries are a significant economic driver, across the Commonwealth.  We are not "The Sport of Kings," rather, we are your friends and your neighbors.  Our growing racing and breeding industries employ tens of thousands of Pennsylvanians, and generate billions in annual statewide economic impact.
