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.
 
It doesn't hold weight when you are only doing something out of spite, after being kicked out & having nowhere to go.

  That's just being a phony with a grudge

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.

  • Lockedin With Pace: I'm not a big fan of his but even with Noble there he'll still win alot of races, not as many as he used to but second most by a wide margin. He's not going to fall off the face of the earth like some of these people say he is.
