Jordan Stratton
« on: August 18, 2024, 12:28:18 PM »
  I attended the Gold Cup & Saucer last night, first off what a great event. The best in harness racing.  Huge crowd, thousands and thousands of people in their teens, 20s and 30s which you don’t see much any more.
   Watching Jordan Stratton win it, than make his way back to the winners circle was amazing.  Stopping all they way to chat with fans, letting them pet the horse. He gave away his whip, gloves and goggles along the way. Back in the winners he gave a young fan his helmet…then afterwards he took the wheels of his bike and gave them to a young want to be driver!!!! He stuck around singing hats and programs until everyone was gone.
    If you haven’t seen it take a few minutes and watch the video. What a humble and polite young guy. Great ambassador for the sport. We need more like him in the sport. Very well done!!

Thank you HARNESS FAN,,,,,,,he thanked the fans for showing up,,,,,,,,, The only person that i have ever mentioned fans was GORD BROWN ,,,,, he talked about looking into the crown and seeing no people was not a good thing to see plus this guy along with BILLY O THE MAGIC man are the only 2 people i see on a regular basis the send condolences to the passing horsemen,,,,,,Dont know him but he is hard not to like......

He did the same thing last year, very classy move. What impressed me both times is how calm the horse was, given both wins required some effort ( esp last year). Contrast that with some horses who can barely stand still for a winner’s circle photo.

I cannot recall a harness racing scene like this in many decades.

Very nice. Brings back good memories of harness racing in Flemington and Johnson Park. Picnic and watch the horses.

Jordan is a complete class act . He’s always smiling polite and says hello to everyone. Success hasn’t changed him at all . He definitely is a great ambassador for this sport . Kudos hope someone shows him this thread .
