Title: MLK RACE
Post by: MIKE CAMPBELL on January 19, 2026, 09:56:38 AM

Can someone explain to me why there is a race containing all African American drivers in observance of MLK? What is the connection between MLK and Harness Racing? I am sure there is a legitimate reason but I have been dropped on my head too many times to figure out what it is.

The Mighty M was famous for those kind of promotions since the early 80's. The MLK pace for all black drivers. The Passover Pace for all Jewish drivers. The all Lady Drivers pace usually won by Bea Farber. The All Family pace, usually the whole Manzi family. To name a few.

Only gamblers in ONTARIO will understand this one,        The WAPLES pace usually won by TOM STRAUSS
