Meantime, bad news
In Quebec, Hippodrome Trois Rivieres, plug pulled on the August 17 Prix D'ete..after reviving the legendary event post-covid, too much financial uncertainty these days inc border crossing questions. Wish it wasnt so but harness racing on the ropes there. or at least top dollar events are. Stay tuned.
Now about that Wagner Inc fam gang . Like that other DelMarva fam of questionable note, the Bidens. So many questions.
