An interesting book from The Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame in Goshen. I don't remember when they did this, but it is a nice piece with some very interesting stories/bios about many under the radar horsemen.

It's remarkable reading. My father knew Harold Snodgrass and he saw Highland Ellen race at Aurora Downs. Thank you very much for bringing back such sweet memories.

I am just an old horse trainer still going around in circles. Sometimes Fast. Sometimes Half-Fast.

A year or two prior to his passing, a friend of mine who had recently met Harold asked me to write to cheer him up.  Although his eyesight was failing, he had someone read him the letters and help him write back.  We exchanged a few letters and I loved hearing his stories about helping develop horses I admired such as Land Grant and Jimmy's Pilot.  Rest in peace, Mr. Snodgrass.

  • Sakit: Mike, how can everybody be wrong about you? I can’t imagine having that kind of time on my hands trying to track down my IP address. Sad life you must have.

  • Sakit: Mike what amazes me is how you live on this website it’s your life.  I noticed you and trigger post within a minute of each other hmmmm.   Last week I posted a couple of times you posted immediately after. Viewership of this website is down substantially since you and trigger “which is probably you” post continuously.    One of the judges at Plainridge said do yourself a favor stay away from that guy- meaning you! SCM has always been nothing but trouble I don’t think he’s worked a day in his life I wonder what happened to his phony GoFundMe page.
