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.

  • rainman2: Plop can read how STUPID/DUMB Andrew really is by TROLLING me after a few days of peace and quiet here!  Sorry plop, I didn't start it this time and he'll have to deal with me.  Sorry to potentially ruin plop for some here.  You go deal with Andrew over this!

  • Sweet: Rainman2, that's a big screen name you swing around here...and you wear it well.  tmbz1  With that said, and you and Andrew geared up for another TC race, think Dewey Love as a nickname!  ;D

  • rainman2: New differences of opinion starting with new individuals starting, old differences on plop returning!  Will there ever be peace here?  I’ve been good until Andrew started the trolling again!

  • Sweet: There very well might be a Twilight Zone spot happening on the backstretch at Scioto Downs, what the heck is happening that is spooking the hell out of the horses and making the drivers look like drunks  ngc3
