The Harvey Pack, which was previously run as the Lucky Coin from 2014-22, was renamed in 2023 to honor the popular late broadcaster who hosted several NYRA television programs, including “Thoroughbred Action” and “Inside Racing.” He served as NYRA’s Director of Promotions and Special Events and created “The Paddock Club,” a program in which fans and special guests discussed handicapping and racing. Beyond his tenure at NYRA, Pack continued his presence in the New York racing scene with Daily Racing Form seminars at Siro’s restaurant during the Saratoga meeting, just steps from The Spa’s historic paddock. Pack died in New York City in July 2021 at the age of 94.
