The $10,000 Bruce Ranger Open Pace is the centerpiece of a fun-filled weekend (May 26 & 27) at First Tracks Cumberland, which is dedicated to one of Maine’s favourite sons who recently went over the 10,000 win threshold. Just the 19th driver in harness racing history to reach that lofty total, the Cumberland County native hails from a long line of harness racing legends that helped put the historic Norton Farm on the map.
Homegrown reinsman Nick Graffam started Saturday’s (May 20) Cumberland program needing just one victory to push him over the edge to the 1,000-win threshold. That moment finally arrived in the eighth race, where a horse named Four Finger Floyd put the Maine-native into the four-figure win category.
Driver Kevin Switzer Jr. continued his hot streak for the second day in a row at Cumberland, winning four races on the 10-race Saturday, May 13 program, which started out with a track record-equalling performance.
