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's a great game, if you have the means to play
 Can't ask for much more;
 Health, wealth, family = happiness that you will never understand.

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.
