Summer's at Greenwood were the best.

You could tap out and find enough discard winning tickets to get some Pizza Pizza, as well as enough roaches to roll a club or two.

90's

 Camluck
 Jenna's Beach Boy
 Riyadh
 The Big Dog
 Village Connection

 Being a kid with a horse or 2 racing in Ontario, watching these warriors slug it out was the pinnacle of Harness Racing in my eyes.
 
Best time of year watch the young horses racing for great money. Nothing better than following the horses, going to wherever their next stake is, with family.

I still remember YR got a big crowd even around 77/78. The old grandstand which is now demolished used to be packed and there was even a large red seat reserved section with an usher about even with the finish line outdoors. One time back then my uncle and I got kicked out of that section by the usher.

I also remember around those same years RR was packed. The outside grandstand was full.

  • Calhoun: I'm an Everyday Millionaire. Decent jobs.. saved hard .. lived a couple notches below our income .. paid off house at age 37.  debt free is way to go .. money grows fast AF when you debt free. I'm sorry you're in a bad way.  How did you skip Kim's wedding? Who walked her down the aisle?
