Why is it that harness racing basically run 1 mile races? I've been in the thoroughbreds most of my life, till Rockingham Park closed. I love watching and betting 5/8, 1, 1 1/6 &  1 1/4 races.  Also, why are there not more claiming races instead of nw of all the time.  Thanks in advance for comments
In Quebec @ Blue Bonnets and Quebec City they occasionally had 5 mile races.  About a dozen horses would start and maybe 4 or 5 finish if they were lucky.

I remember Raceway Park had a 3/8th race every Memorial Day

FYI for the math challenged. 3 times around is 15 eights 15/8 = 1 mile and 7/8. In other words 1/8 short of 2 miles.             tmbz1

Charlton going crazy like he won the Hambo & there was still a lap to go was one of the funniest things in the history of harness racing.

Also when Scott Young fell off the bike leaving the paddock in Flamboro Downs

The distance for 97% of the drivers should be from the track to prison  91.jzail

  • Trigger: Harness racing is purely a way from guys like Burke to get rich.  Gamblers get jacked, and this is not a sport, it's chemicals and science.  Harness racing is becoming nothing to me.

  • Trigger: Stupid MAGA, anyone home?  FCC doesn't control internet programming.  Jimmy Kimmel is on a paid vacation.  Let ABC pay his contract out and he can go ape shit on the internet.  And none of this sham of a government can stop him.
