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.
 
You should have stayed in school & got a job.

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.

  • Sweet: Since Sunday, 5/10, bobble has won 1 race, with BJ.  6 days of driving and 1 win, BJ.  Apparently trainers and owners are that D-U-M-B!  ngc3

  • Sweet: The last 6 times Driver bobble was on odds on favorites he lost 4 times.  The 2 times he won was with BJ.  He cherry pix drives, cheats, burns money, and it's outstanding that you want him to live another day to drive, yet see fame.  Shame on YOU - BJ is with a compromised driver!  ;D
