The National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame (NMRHOF) educator Matt Reichel will take viewers on a "ride through time" of horse racing in America, from humble beginnings in the 1600s to a national pastime today. Using the NMRHOF's historical galleries as a baseline, Matt will cover different eras of horse racing, including the Colonial era, Pre-Civil War era and the Post-Civil War era.
The mission of the NMRHOF is "to preserve and promote the history of Thoroughbred racing in America and honor the sport’s most accomplished participants in the Official National Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame."
