Rosecroft Raceway 2016

 Rosecroft Raceway
I had never been to Harness Racing, nor had I been to Rosecroft Raceway, although I wanted to go to both. On November 22nd, Rosecroft Raceway, now owned by the Stronach Group, hosted the 1st Annual Potomac Pace. The race had a $100,000 purse and attracted 8 of the top Standardbreds from around the country.

I really enjoyed watching the races that each covered 1 mile. The races are either Trotting Races, or Pacing Races. A Trotting horse moves its diagonal legs simultaneously, while a Pacer moves the legs on the same side of the body together. Pacers tend to be faster than Trotters.

During the evening, and prior to the big race, the Drivers came out and signed posters for the fans in attendance.
