However, the way this instance occurred isn't anything at least I've seen before. In the opener on…

Appearing for the final time in his history-making career, "The Bulldog" was best in show once more. Bulldog Hanover, who electrified the sport this season with his speed and personality, romped to victory in Saturday's (Nov. 26) $345000 TVG Series Open Pace championship by 2-1/4 lengths over Tattoo Artist in a stakes record 1:47.3 at the…

And trainer Brett…

Scott Zeron earned the sixth Breeders Crown trophy of his career this past weekend when he guided Treacherous Dragon to victory for trainer Nancy Takter in the final for 3-year-old female pacers at Woodbine Mohawk Park, with the emphasis on "earned."

Harness racing trainer Alvin Miller knows what it's like to bring a longshot to the Dan Patch Stakes. He also knows that anything is possible, even for a longshot. Last year, Miller's Tellmeaboutit (Tellitlikeitis -Portia Blue Chip) was 68-1 from post nine in the annual event for older male pacers at Harrah's Hoosier Park Racing & Casino but came…
