PRESIDENTS AND HARNESS RACING
« on: August 21, 2025, 05:36:45 PM »
In baseball, the president always threw the first ball from his seat at Washington Senators games, and then other cities when the Senators moved to Texas.

Was there a president who had a connection to harness racing?
As an owner, or attending a Triple Crown race?

Trying to find my way back to posting about harness racing.

done with the other stuff.

  • Bitter Truth: That Golden Tempo , I'm afraid is  a money burner. Gets so far back. Was in range but just hung and raced even in the stretch. Didn't see a Derby winner in there in my opinion.
